TEA PARTY RANKS BEGIN TO SWELL

SPECIAL POST

The number of Americans claiming to be members of a Tea Party organization has doubled since Obamacare was passed in March. The number showing up for Tax Day protests across America was substantially higher than last year, running from twice as large to as much as ten times as large in some areas.  The NEW YORK TIMES reports that, "On the whole, the supporters dislike President Obama and Congress and say that the government in Washington cannot be trusted. Most say that the country is seriously off course, and that all members of Congress should be replaced, yet most say the country does not need a third party."  

President Obama is openly trying to diminish the significance of the Tea Party movement and radical liberals and Democratic members of Congress are trying to marginalize members by calling them "racists." 

The open hostility and belittling of the Tea Party movement by Pelosi, Reid and Obama has played a direct role in its success.  Attempting to diminish the size of Party turnouts and to dismiss their rallies as "irrelevant" while tossing out outright lies about the organizations and what they stand for has solidified their support.  

Americans know that they are not to blame for the economic crisis we are in and they know that Democrats and Republicans alike bear the responsibility.  Nevertheless, and just to show how out of touch with reality they are, some politicians are now calling for the end of unemployment benefits, having the audacity to suggest that recipients have become lazy and are not looking for work.  Obviously they don't give a damn about the fact that 15 million people are out of work and 160,000 "new" jobs were created last month while 1.5 million more people were laid off.  

WHERE IN THE HELL ARE YOU GOING TO FIND A JOB?  WHEN IN THE HELL ARE YOU GOING TO SHUT YOUR FLAPPIN' GUMS AND START CREATING JOBS?  

That's the energy that is coursing through the veins of the new guys in town, the Tea Party members.  Those in high places in the corridors of Washington would be well-advised to start packing their bags.  This movement is NOT going to dry up and blow away.
