Where were the t-publicans when Bu$h II was continuously putting in huge "emergency supplementals" (off-budget/unpaid-for requests) for Iraq?
Defending him. I remember watching the swtich from defending to.tossing under a bus. It was right before obama was elected.all of a sudden bush became the "hold your nose" guy.
The tea party in a nut shell is an extension of the GOP.
They consist mainly of white male and female voters.
some that happen to be racist but not all. Most are highly relgious and want a mix of bible and social law.
they are about 20-25 million in numbers. Which is about the gop base.( the dems have a base around the the same %)
lastly for the most part they tend to contradict themselves if given enough rope on the issues at hand.they like entitlements as.much as.the next person, they just want it run better for the money. They tend to be neocons on foreign policy. They will nannystate on certain issues.
They are the gop, but will fight tooth and nail to avoid being labeled as such.they want to feel like they are fresh, important and on the rise as if they speak for the american people(they dont).
They are simple to figure out, but hard to combat with their overly simple messages. Normally context kills them, but people have a short attention span so they tend to win the debates.
