Supposedly the tea party movement was originally brought on by angry americans who were tired of our overtaxing government. It was created as a vehicle to voice the opinion of the participating people to both political parties. Not primarily against the democratic party but both equally.
The tea party movement was co-opted by the conservative party, through talk radio and mainstream media. And has now converted it into a republican movement.
Key speakers like Sarah Palin who is on the payroll for the John McCain 2010 senate re-election bid. Glenn Beck trumping up the tea party movement with his media power. The republican party arranged for the supposed participants of the tea party movement to gather at the capitol the day they were to sign the health care reform bill. So they can use the people as a political gamepiece.
Why are these tea party participants allowing these media types and politicians to speak at thier rallies? If they want to be heard than they themselves should be at the podium speaking on thier own behalf. Otherwise all you have is the same talking heads telling them what to believe. And right now the only message they have to sell is that you and everyone should be angry at the democratic party for the aggressive spending and policies they seek to implement.
Fact is if this was a real movement (the tea party) started by the people for the people than it would not get any coverage. This movement was started by conservatives who wish like I said to use angry americans as a means of securing more seats in the November elections.
Left, Right, politics is all a game. Think of it like a game of chess, Left wing on one side and the right on the other. We don't get to participate. We only get to pay for it. The only difference in this game from others is that there is only one person or group of people, unknown to us, playing against themselves so they can never lose. Global control of finance, agriculture, commerce, labor, social programs and so on is the ultimate prize for the player of this one sided game.
