The Tea Party movement - yes a movement -...Montana:<br />The Tea Party movement - yes a movement - is not fueled with hate. That is your projection. And, a good portion of the movement is filled with Independents, which have fled from Obama's agenda in droves. Speaking of Reagan, he 'inherited' a mess like no other in recent history from Carter. He, however, didn't persistently whine and complain that he had a job for which he campaigned and wanted. Leadership comes from the top.<br />To assume it is threats and unruly behavior from them shows a suspension of disbelief. Politicans have dealt with bad behavior and criminal behavior from the beginning of time, no matter the party.

In my opinion this is what the small portions of the republican party of “birthers, baggers and blowhards” have brought you. They are good at “Follow the Leader” of their dullard leaders, they listen to Beck, Hedgecock, Hannity, O’Reilly, Rush and Savage and the rest of the Blowhards. Are you surprise at what they do when you know what they think? The world is complicated and most republicans (Hamiliton, Lincoln, Roosevelt) believe that we should use government a little to increase social mobility, now its about dancing around the claim of government is the problem. The sainted Reagan passed the biggest tax increase in American history and as a result federal employment increased, but facts are lost when mired in mysticism and superstition. Although some republicans are trying to distant themselves from this fringe most of them are just going along and fanning the flames.Montananoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14598933.post-26349650865685072452010-03-25T15:46:19.478-06:002010-03-25T15:46:19.478-06:00I believe whole heartedly that most of the threats...I believe whole heartedly that most of the threats are trumped up... something to try and gain sympathy for them from the public. Where was the outrage when signs calling President Bush a Nazi and evil as Hitler showed up at the presidential inauguration last year? Celebrities get on TV and verbally abuse and threatened President Bush often. The vile hatred that came from Rachel Maddow and company against President Bush was amazing.... yet, where was the Democratic outrage.<br /><br />Trumped up imaginary threats... most are.<br />Others are from fringe angry people... no violence or threats should be condoned..... for either side. Take note liberals.... GROW UP!!srphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11751987787364198318noreply@blogger.com
