Actually the first tea parties started in early 2008 and were in support of Ron Paul and were very anti-Bush in nature. These have been forgotten as the likes of Glenn Beck and Sean Hannity have hi-jacked them.

How exactly is the constitution being trampled? It's not like Obama is the one who repealed search and seizure laws and passed the Patriot Act....

Only a simpleton would make such a sweeping generalization and only a rude, vulgar person would insult them with the term 'baggers".

Those stupid policies made the US the most powerful nation for quite a while. It was when Clinton, Bush and now Obama started meddling around the world and in our country that things went south. BTW what makes you think they are not to bright. Like it or not they are literally people from all walks of life, some are dimwit hicks, some are doctors, lawyers and other very successful people.
