In response to "the ultra right is the only news covering this as serious." Right. Maybe because NBC, CBS, ABC, Time, and so on all catered to him and worked hard to help him get elected.

If I still gambled, I would bet a year's pay if Michael Moore, Oprah and so on were to get behind something similar to demonstrate the abuses of power and the total lack of respect for the people, the very news agencies that are downplaying this would be heavily in support.

The nice thing about no television and getting news from USA Today, the Plain Dealer, Columbus Dispatch, Akron Beacon Journal, online such as Yahoo, magazines such as Newsweek (time is fucked up and biased beyond belief), gaging people I work with, go to 12 step meetings with, friends who are liberal and conservative.... I feel I can make far better informed views than when I watched television news and read newspapers alone.

I am able to see both sides much clearer these days. And here's the secret.... BOTH SIDES ARE FUCKED UP AND PLAYED AS PUPPETS. If the Right does something, the left finds reasons to criticize and belittle EVERYONE participating ..... and the right does the same thing to Left.

Tea parties aren't perfect but they are a start. And yes, they can go 2 ways... become GOP propaganda or be helpful and get people to truly throw partisanship out and take back control.

This country is controlled right now by puppet masters who play Left vs. Right games. That way, people are too busy fighting over bullshit OR they tune out because they believe they don't have a voice and have come to the belief their voice doesn't matter.

Tea Parties may have a chance to give those people voices. If people see that others are speaking out and throwing partisanship away and fighting to regain the government then they may join.

So keep saying it's partisan and that it's a Right thing and believe what you want... I believe until PROVEN wrong that these stand a chance at opening the gates for true change and people to make government more open and scared of the people..... not keep people scared of government like it is now and the press loves it because it sells, the puppet masters love it because they stay in control.... and the radicals on both sides like it because they feel they are a part of something.

It may be an uphill battle for people who aren't partisan and want to hold government accountable to the people.... but again I stress this is the start, because in the end, I truly believe there will be more non partisans and people just wanting government accountable than there will be puppets for the left and right.

POWER TO THE PEOPLE...... it only sounds scary and/or ridiculous if you are a puppet and brainwashed to believe that AND/OR you are more scared of government being answerable and responsible to the people not the puppet masters and the political agendas they sell the partisans.

Ask yourself which one of the 3 do you fall into? And why? May learn something about yourself and wake up to the reality of who truly is in control in this country. It should be WE the PEOPLE and it ain't. WE the PEOPLE right now are more scared of the government (and giving them more power) than they are of us.

My response is, "I like to put forks in an eletrical socket, just LOVE that feeling, can't ever get enough of it, so will you let me put this copper fork in that electric socket?"
