Dancing with the Tea Party, The Tea Party Effect

Bristol Palin was upset on Dancing With The Stars because of what people were saying about the vote.  She felt that she was as good as the others and that the people who thought she didn't deserve to go forward were just haters.  The truth is she was only getting voted forward because of the Sarah Palin fans and the Tea Party people.  The Tea Party people have an effect.  They don't really know what they want.  But they know what they do not want.  They don't want a black president, they don't want to pay taxes, they don't want gays to serve in the military or get married, and they mostly don't want anyone to disagree with anything they don't want.  The tea party effect is to confuse everyone including Bristol Palin.  They vote for her even though she is not the best thing.  They do the same thing for America.  They have the effect of being bad for America.  The Tea Party people were all over the place and America was trying to figure out what the hell their message was.  One message from them was we don't want taxes.  Wow that's a great idea.  lets get rid of taxes.  Next they wanted the two parties to get along.  OK, that is a good idea but, they only want the two parties to get along if it's the stuff they want them to get along on, like not giving gays and lesbians the right to serve openly or marry.  Americans need a bad guy and the GOP Tea Party Republicans are really, really good at pointing at someone even if they know they are really NOT the bad guy.  The American people don't know what to believe and with Republican leadership like Jim DeMint, Mitch McConnell, Michele Bachmann, and John Boehner , talk radio hosts like Hannity, Beck, and Rush and reality show actors like Sarah Palin willing to spew lies like the president is a Muslim, Socialist, Marxist, Manchurian candidate, it's no wonder Americans think that the President and the Democrats must be the problem; When in fact the opposite is true.  Americans want to believe their leaders.  They want to believe that what their doctors, lawyers, judges, police, authority figures and leadership tell them is true.  Americans want to believe their news broadcasters are telling them the truth.  They want to believe that their mortgage brokers and bankers are giving them good advice and leading them in the right direction.  Unfortunately American ethics has become weaker than ever especially when you have Fox news not reporting the facts, mortgage brokers pushing bad loans on unsuspecting first time home buyers, Wall Street selling financials they know are bad, and Pharmaceutical companies selling drugs that they know will harm or kill people, all for the sake of increasing the bottom line.  Huge corporations and foreign governments are now buying our elections.  Is that what the American people really want?  I don't think so.  The Tea Party is having an effect and it is not a good one.  They seem to think the deficit is the only problem and tax cuts and spending cuts are the only solutions.  When the country is just coming out of the worst economy since the Great Depression and the countries economy is still fragile the last thing we need is to cut jobs.  The Tea Party leadership in the house read the constitution on the floor which was cool but then on the first day they broke there own stated rules that everything would be done following the constitution.  They disregarded the constitution by allowing Rep. Pete Sessions (R-TX) and Rep. Mike Fitzpatrick (R-PA) to take legislative actions without being sworn in.   They weren't sworn-in when they participated in legislative actions on Tuesday and Wednesday. That resolution is expected to disqualify any votes they took before they were sworn in.  I don't know but I am guessing they will count those votes anyway.  Yes the Tea Party is going to have an effect.  They will work for fewer jobs for Americans moving the middle class toward poverty and, They will work hand in hand with the GOP Republicans to lead this country down the path of Wall Street, big corporations, and the ultra wealthy continuing to make the biggest profits in history on the backs of middle class Americans.
