I do; however, question why they weren't protesting the previous administration also.

And I think they need to educate themselves on just what taxes do and do not pay for, and dump Palin as their spokesperson.

I also would like to see them protesting at the state and local levels. They tax and spend, too.
I do not know why you didn't notice the Tea Party before Obama came into office. The Tea Party movement began with Bush in office.

Because they don't like the truth. (unless it's what they want us to see as the truth).

Why? Because it's true? Would you rather he be called a "communist"?

If a conservative had been surrounded his entire life by people of questionable (and not so questionable) character, they would not be in office.

Imagine a White House full of anti-American racists? Ooopps!

Reverse everything done to try to fix what was never broken in the first place. The fixes, to fix the governments fixes, just add more and more government agencies. Bigger government takes more revenue and then bogs everything down.

Causing a crisis, just to make a government agency to watch over it, only for them to become as corrupt as the federal government is, was and will always be.

The federal government needs to go back to where they started. Our security from other nations, both physical and economical. Stay the hell out of individuals lives. That is for State and local governments to decide and to compete for citizens, with their prosperity, or failure as a community.
