Are you able to comprehend the fact that a large majority of the Tea Party supporters agree with that 100%? Are you able to understand that many Tea Party members like myself dislike the Republicans as much as you do, they just dislike the Democrats equally or even more.
Then can you explain to me why Tea Party members consistently support candidates of the Republican Party? Sharon Angle, Christine O'Donnell, Rand Paul, and Joe Miller are all Republican nominees for the U.S. Senate and all have received endorsements from the Tea Party.
noone in their correct mind is going to bring the REPUBLICAN PARTY (aka NEOCONS aka "TEA PARTY") back, I don't care how many times you change the name
The problem is a substantial portion of the electorate is NOT in its correct mind. People are frustrated with the economy and many are tired with the bickering and ineffectiveness of Congress. The problem is this frustration is leading people to making any change instead of changes that work in their best long term interest. Also a substantial portion of the electorate is woefully uninformed or misinformed.
Why do you want increase taxes on people who make more than $250K?
Over the last decade high income Americans have seen their incomes increase the most while middle class incomes has stagnated. So called "Trickle Down" economics has NOT worked. The income these higher income Americans is making is NOT being re-invested back into the economy to create jobs or create economic growth it's going into the financial markets and being invested in emerging economies with high economic growth. From a purely capitalistic standpoint there is nothing wrong with that but a national interest standpoint it's obvious that the rich and corporate interest really aren't promoting the long term economic growth of the United States of America.
The massive use of emoticons and the constant caps lock and emotional rants, is usually a teenager/college age trait. Could be wrong, maybe she's developmentally arrested if she's an adult but hey, I'm not here to pick insults, that would be hitting below the belt. Instead, I kindly point aspiesmom, and other whiny liberals, to Welcome to Citizenship and Immigration Canada
In light of the current economic plight of the United States and its rather dim future prospects emigration to Canada or another country is NOT a bad idea. The fact of the matter is there are any number of countries in the world that are being run better than the United States is being run right now.

No, a substantial portion of the electorate WAS woefully uninformed in the 2008 elections. But, thanks (in part) to Obama's popularity, those formerly ignorant voters are now motivated to vote for American values, instead of the charismatic young liberal from Chicago.
Hitler did it with fascism and fear and militarism... Corporatists are doing it with Horatio "rags to riches" Alger, 'you too can be an uber-rich CEO, as long as you vote like one'
"...This term now applies perfectly to the Tea Partyers. They ardently support the neo-liberal dogma of unfettered markets and small government, assuming naively that power removed from government devolves to the people. Unfortunately, it doesn't. It is absorbed by those best positioned to absorb it, and that is usually the rich, particularly the corporate sector..."

Because the Tea Party isn't a political party and most of it's members are very conservative in nature. Republicans are supposed to be conservative, not like the current bunch of RINO Republicans who claim to be conservative but in reality aren't. These are the people who are slowly being replaced with the help of the Tea Party. I guess you could say the TP is taking the Republican party back to where it's supposed to be, even if it doesn't want to.
If tea partiers are the useful idiots of capitalism, does that make the anti-war crowd the useful idiots of Democrats?
