If there is a huge Republican/Tea Party wave that takes control of Congress?
the same thing you did when you got your butts handed to you in 2006 and 2008.
d'uh!
except without all the birfer racist garbage.
I have been observing the Tea Party and American politics. The Tea Party is a wave unprecedented in our history. It reflects a sentiment very similar to that which lead up to the American revolution. As the government becomes more intractable in its insistence of disregarding the will of the people, the tidal wave will continue to grow. We may or may not agree with the philosophy of the Tea Party movement, but the evidence is overwhelming that it is a movement of the people, and not an agenda of politicians.
I expect that the movement will remain an integral part of American politics for some time to come. As the government continues to run roughshod over the wishes of the people, it will probably gain momentum.
Much of the argument for or against conservatism; for or against liberalism is also leveled for or against; against or for the Tea Party depending upon the views of the one making the argument. The government and the Democrats pass laws; then tell the people: “This is what you want.” The argument often is: “The government passed this bill. It is what the people want. The Tea Party is wrong for opposing it.” A good example is the current Health Care bill that the Democrats rammed through behind closed doors. 60% of the people were against it; 60% of the Senators disregarded the will of the people and voted along party lines. The truth is: If the Tea Party does not reflect the will of the people, it will wane as the Government acquiesces to the will of the people.
Most important, it should be recognized that the Tea Party represents people from all walks of life, and consists of people of all races – blacks, whites, Hispanics etc. Its agenda is not racist.
Most of the drivel that I have seen on the boards is accusation against the Tea Party; not its beliefs. The Tea Party reflects ideals that every American can adhere to and has nothing to do with race, but they are called racist. The Tea Party may be right or wrong in its beliefs, but attack it on its beliefs. Don’t make up lies about it; then make accusations based upon those lies. Such lies and accusations make your argument ring hollow.
