Been there as a newspaper reporter and editor, and got rather upset when what I had written was sliced and diced and reduced to nothing more than nothing, including any point of the article.
I honestly don't think that anyone on this website is bashing any Tea Party anywhere, but we worry about the famous trumping of the entire effort in Washington because of their fame and notoriety. And I have to say that I really wonder about the background of those that will be prominent and probably forefront as spokesmen. As one example, Mr. Norquist is apparently a rather strange duck.
Why we are in this verbal battle is a bit confusing, just more cleaving of the American society, taking advantage of the malleability of the population of this country? And what news do we really get? Perhaps one minute of 90 civilians dead from UN bombing in some war zone, three soldiers die by a roadside bomb, but let's get back to examining Michael Jackson's life while a few believe that he is not really dead. The priorities of what it means to be a part of the United States have gone fluffball beyond reasonable thinking, and for quite a few that seems just hunky dory.
Perhaps, I worry too much, but to see these characters involved in what takes place in DC, I think that is the fundamental point.Their trustability is seriously in question.
