Well at least the two of us think that the government is in the control of a certain kind of politician and sure not by the people and certainly not for those same people.

Default They are Celebrations of Free Speech

I think the Tea Parties will help bring America back to the People.

The question is too vague. What do you mean by "in charge?" What do you mean by "America?"

I'm in charge of my household. My employer is in charge of my job. Traffic cops are in charge of city streets. The gaming commission is in charge of casinos. Etc., etc., etc.

We each have duties and responsibilities, so in that sense, we're all "in charge" of "America."

Official Tax Day TEA Party, July 4th, 2009
The Tea Parties are just that but will they be allowed after the Dems realize that they are the same kind of "grassroots" movement that they think brought them to power? I think that after July 4 they will finally understand just what if going on and THEY do control the Congress with a President that would be glad to sign anything that may control the Tea Parties.

Speaking of Tea Parties, makes me wonder just how many of them will be invaded by ACORN or other groups like them bringing violence with them. I fear that for July 4.

You spend your time going around in circles. Most people know what I mean. At least, the ones who count.

LMAO! Oh, I know exactly what you mean. I was giving you a chance to be reasonable, but I didn't expect any reasoning in response.

Why don't your poll choices include just two:

Conservatives rock!

Liberals suck.

I mean, if you're really that angry, such a poll would be concise and unarguable.

I guess that is the only answer liberals have when they can't talk about anything. Well at least the President and Congress people have used it when they didn't have an answer.
