What's the Tea Party about?It's simple, really.
What is the agenda? What is the platform? Who are the leaders?
Speaking as someone who can srsly yak, let me say, less is more on these topics - for reasons explained in the linked article.
What's the Tea Party about?
You know it's scary when even Paul Krugman get's it:
ReplyDeleteThere’s good reason to feel outraged at the growing appearance that we’re running a system of lemon socialism, in which losses are public but gains are private. And at the very least, you would think that Obama would understand the importance of acknowledging public anger over what’s happening.
But no. If the Bloomberg story is to be believed, Obama thinks his key to electoral success is to trumpet “the influence corporate leaders have had on his economic policies.”
We’re doomed.
Krugman's may join the Tea Party before this is done...
Excellent article, lewy! I wanted to stand up and cheer!
ReplyDeleteHe said it all and he said it right.
ReplyDelete"I will put it in all CAPS and type slowly:
THE TEA PARTY MOVEMENT WANTS AMERICA TO RETURN TO CONSTITUTIONAL PRINCIPLES.
There it is. I said it, one simple sentence."
Thanks, lewy, I'm going to have to steal your picture and forward the article.
