Wa! Wa! Wa! Wa! Are you talking about the Tea Party or the Democratic Party. The Democrats and Republicans have spent us into this miss and they deserve the Tea Party!
God bless them and may they be encouraged to put pressure on Reid and Pelosi and the rest of those bozos!

The Tea Party is anti-democratic and guilty of abuse of power? You mean like when the President and the Democrat Party forced through Obamacare without allowing it to be read? I have no problem with people disagreeing politically but the recent attacks on the Tea Party comparing members to Islamic terrorists and calling them unAmerican are ridiculous. If your only argument is ad-hominin attacks you have no argument.

Really going to hurt when the members of the NWO are running that "machine" and could care less about the people around the globe. Heck, that one world government wants to get rid of most of us. Unless you are on that short list of people who get to live, better hope that NWO doesn't become reality to quickly.
You may hate certain politicians but the actions of them will and can hurt people, real human beings. For this reckless group, the tea party to threaten world wide suffering with a default, in which millions of innocent human beings may have suffered, is evil in my opinion.
....But the entry that really sent my Democratic strategist friend ballistic was the one for Rep. Rosa DeLauro, the Connecticut Democrat. La Rosa--tied for #48 on the Richest list--gets the lion's share of her wealth from her husband--Clintonista pollster and campaign strategist Stan Greenberg. Says Roll Call, "DeLauro's primary asset is a 67-percent stake in Greenberg Quinlan Rosner Research Inc., a Washington-based firm run by her husband, Democratic pollster Stan Greenberg. Her share in the company nets the Representative $5 million to $25 million. She has a partial stake in two other polling/consulting firms. The first is Greenberg Research, of which she and her husband own 100 percent, and Sun Surveys, in which she owns a 60 percent stake. Neither of these is as lucrative as Greenberg Quinlan Rosner, however."
My bud the political warhorse snorted,"Hell, she first ran for Congress she didn't have a dime--I was one of her biggest contributors. And Stan Greenberg, who worked for me back when he was starting out, used to have holes in his socks!" Noting that Congressional wealth is usually closer to the higher than to the lower estimates on the disclosure forms, my dour Democrat gasped, "That means they're making around $50 million! These people shouldn't be running Democratic campaigns!"
So, if you want to know why the national Democrats seem, in this campaign, to have a tin ear where touching the hearts and minds of the working stiffs is concerned, think about this: the three partners in the Democracy Corps--Greenberg, James Carville, and Kerry's chief message-shaper Bob Shrum--are all multimillionaires. And yet their counsel--proferred in an endless series of free Democracy Corps memos distributed to the party elite well before and during the presidential primaries, whose content (or lack of it) they helped shape--is taken as gospel by Democratic liberals feverish for victory. Well, as the old Texas populist Maury Maverick Jr. used to say, "a liberal is a power junkie without the power."

Apparently you know nothing about them. A return to Constitutional law. Every American should be supporting them. They are doing exactly as they promised when running for office. To oppose big government, reign in spending and give the power back to the people. They are doing EXACTLY what their constituents wanted them to. If you villainize them, you villainize their constituents who are American citizens, who by the way, DO have a say in how this country is run! To take a stance that they are not patriots or are evil is to call the Americans who elected them the same.
As I did in another forum, step back and do a little research about all three parties. Not just what they claim they stand for, but what have they supported? I think you just might find that the ONLY party that has stuck to their principals and what they were elected to do is the Tea Party.

What is the difference from the government running everything [ communism] than a small group of oligarchs
[ capitalism] running everything.
One is government, one isn't. I'll let you figure out which is which.
It's near impossible (but not completely so) to avoid government, but not corporations. Don't have to do business with them if you don't want to.
If they control all the physical variables and natural resources...you do.

They were voted in by a majority of the voting populace and they never abused the system like the Republicans are doing now. That’s the point of my OP.
They NEVER threatened to destabilize the economic system if they didn’t get their way.

May I ask when that took place? I do not recall the president threatening me with anything, let alone withholding checks. I am not saying it did not actually happen, I just missed that myself. Can you elucidate?
