I agree with what you said...some of it anyways. I don't believe that either party is good for the country...both are equally corrupt. I view the tea parties as a resurgence of our nation's history, where the people are sick of being misrepresented by their elected officials...IT DOES NOT MATTER WHICH PARTY THEY BELONG TO! The only legal recourse we have is at the voting booth, I feel that the Mass voters made a very wise choice in voting Martha Coakley out of office. Her arrogance was just insulting and ended up being her demise. I feel that there are several/many more on their way out (again...from both parties) as well but we'll have to wait and see.
Maybe Hussein will see the writing on the wall and actually start focusing on the 17% unemployment, the stagnant housing market, and the yo yo economy...the American people have clearly stated that his ramrodding of mandatory health care is not at the top of their agendas. With a better checks & balances in place, there should at least be some debate involved.
It's just getting started, tighten your seat belts because the next year should prove interesting.
Well said, Basket Weaver
Milton Fine...Basket Weaver is right, your interpretation of the posts is way off the mark. My remark about the Boston Tea Party seems (unfortunately) to need an explanation. I was just saying that it is refreshing to see the American voters take back control of where the country is heading. Instead of the trend of being told by politicians and the media what we want.
This thread is a good example of what the American political landscape has become. An issue comes up for discussion and at the beginning it is civil enough. Before you know it, the name calling and nasty comments start. We have free speech in this country so that everyone can be heard, so that differences can be aired, and so we can come as close as possible to solutions that are best for the majority. Come at me with a well thought out rebuttal to my stated opinion, that is backed by facts (not a regurgitation of the main stream media) and you might open my eyes to a stance I had not considered. I am not too proud to admit I could be wrong.
I don't have the time or patience to get into the "everything is Bush's fault" discussion. All I can say to that is check your facts..especially when it comes to the housing market. You would be surprised at who had their fingers in that cookie jar and then pointed said finger at Bush!
