Having not been to to any Tea Parties I have no idea if they're mostly racist or not. I know when Bush was POTUS I didn't agree with much of anything he did after he invaded iraq. Still I would not have attended any event showing him being burned in effigy or dressed up like a monkey. If someone wanted to have an honest discussion regarding options to change the course he set the country on I'd have no problem attending that. And I think that's my problem with the Tea Party folks. I don't think their being honest in their debate. They want to lower taxes. They're tried of the government taking their money. I hate to tell you this but your money's already spent and you I and every other US voter basically let that happen. "Hey let's go to war, spend billions and billions of dollars we don't have and just for good measure let's lower taxes at the same time. The money for the war? Oh, just borrow it." Yeah, that'll work out great. Where were you guys when all this spending was going on? I hear a lot of my friends who agree with the Tea Party state they weren't happy about the spending Bush did. Problem with that is I knew them then and I remember them cheer leading just about everything that guy did. So I call BULL SHIT. Taxes are at there lowest levels since Truman was in office and the Tea party folks have no interest in coming up with realistic solutions to keep us from passing on to our grand children the massive debt we've run up. All I hear is lower my taxes, spend less, I'm tried of paying people not to work. None of that solves the problems we currently face.
