>IMHO nothing could be further from the truth. This is truly a grass-roots movement without a leader and based on Constitutional principles and fiscal conservatism. I, for one, distrust the GOP pols as much as I do the Dems because both are beholden to special interests. A true patriot pol would declare themselves an independent and let the cards lay as they may. Such a person would have an enormous backing from the Tea Parties.

>As to Obama ,,,, I respect the Presidency. But I think he's making a terrible mistake by saying things like "the time for debate is over" and villifying the opposition. Opposition to his more radical (and I don't mean that politically) agendas grows every time he opens his mouth, He doesn't know how to reach a consensus or have a sense of when that would be a good idea, politically. That will be his undoing.

>So, Charles, content yourself with the idea that the current makeup and political thrust of the leftists will lead to their destruction for years to come. Every time they are in power they overreach and they are bitch-slapped to the curb. It's happening again. And it couldn't happen to a nicer group of arrogant pricks.

Oho! Tell us what you really think, John ;-)

The Dems do not have the market cornered when it comes to overreaching. The last election was a direct reaction to the overreaching of the previous 8 years.
