What I meant was I've heard a number of conservatives here argue the tea parties were about things other than taxes, including government spending, the deficits, etc.

TEA by the way idiots of the left is a freaking acronym. Taxed Enough Already.
I've actually seen more on the right who apparently didn't understand the reference to tea parties.
I had also thought is was a nod to the Boston tea party of yore.
You can't really spend your way out of a depression either especially when excessive government spending and regulation was the primary reason for that depression.

It was the Democratic insistence upon houses for everyone who couldn't afford them.

There were more than a few Republicans agreeing with them. But you knew that.

Name them all and everyone of them can be proven to be a liberal Republican from liberal districts.

Any information on what percentage of loans made to minorities default is compared to the overal default amount?
And even assuming it is true that banks lent to minorities more, how does that excuse their dramatic failure to calculate the risk associated with these pools securities? How does that make it Govt's (much less Dems) fault? No one put a gun to the head of these institutions to buy these securized packages. If they thought they were too risky because of minority lender they could have said "no gracias". Obviously they didn't -- because they were making shitloads of $$$, not because anyone was forcing them to do it.
The Tea Party
Wallace, Perot demonstrated angers impact on political process

The national tea party movement, exemplified by the protest on the Worlds Fair site last week, is, according to its critics, an incoherent and illogical phenomenon invented and promoted by bloggers, Fox News, and talk radio hosts.
Well, yeah. Instapundit, talk radio, and Fox News enabled the meet-ups. You dont think The New York Times and MSNBC would help them get the message out do you? But you cant turn people out for a protest if there isnt a motivating energy and, yes, anger that drives it. Ask the environmental movement or any other issues-oriented interest group the last time they were able to organize a national protest with this kind of turnout.
The energy is real and significant and it ought not be ignored. There is very real anger across America and if political polling is to be believed it is not directed at President Obama. It is an anger directed at Washington in general, both political parties, and the prospect of a bankrupt federal government. The pictures I saw at the protests across the country had as many anti-Bush signs as anti-Obama signs.
The question for our political system is where this anger finds expression in the future and whether it re-invigorates the Republican Party or splinters it to pieces. Remember the populist anger harnessed by Alabama Gov. George Wallacewho rode it to national prominence with a third political party? We should also remember Ross Perot, who used the budget deficit to destroy a sitting president and elect Bill Clinton.
Will tea parties become the Tea Party?...
