Just out of curiosity, Dogzilla, what's your take on the lack of Tea Party protests between 2000 and 2008? I'm sure you're aware it was under the Bush administration that we saw tax cuts without corresponding spending decreases, expensive wars without increased taxes or decreased spending to pay for them, Federal bailouts for the banking collapse without any tax increases or spending decreases to compensate, and a general set of fiscally irresponsible behaviors from the Republican executive and Republican (until 2006, of course) legislature. These things would seem to me to be huge deals to anyone that has strong feelings about fiscal responsibility and accountability. Do you think it has to do with, perhaps, a lack of perspective with "your guy" is in office? Or do you think it's deeper, that these people don't actually care about fiscal responsibility but are using it as a pretext for undermining the president? Or a third option?
