I feel for you.' first of all they do have a plan, quit the outrageous spending, whcih is totally unnecesary. the TARP money was enough. the other spendiong listed as stimulus was just pork, or pushing ahead a few necesary items ahead of the. budget, and then spending the money again. many of us voted for and some agaisnt Obama, but he surprised us in how irresponsible he has been. It is not about losing the election, and I am not republican, but an independent (not like the pseudo independents in the senate). McCain admisdded he did not have a plan, Obama said he did , apparantly it was to drwoned us it debt and ciontinue to blame it on everyone else. For example, Bush's budget defiocits were starting to come down in last two years of republican controled congress, but not by enough, then two years with democrats in chargee they started up again, and now they are out of sight. It seems to be that we are all losers in the last election. As much as I hated Reagan, he was right in that he sparked and economic surge that lasted since. his only fault was letting spending go up too high by democratic congress. His tax income sky rocketed. and Bush actually increased tax on wealthy, unlike what liberals broadcast, so i am not impressed by liberals and thier record either. you wrote ‘At least with those protests, you knew what we wanted: no war in Iraq.

No angst here. Carry on. Because the tea bagging protests have no discernable policy objective they will be even less effective than the protests against the Iraq War. At least with those protests, you knew what we wanted: no war in Iraq. What do the teabaggers want in terms of concrete policies? Nobody’s been able to tell. You lost an election and you’re angry about it. I feel for you. If it keeps people from holing up in an RV and going out in a blaze of gunfire, then it will be time well spent. Please enjoy. Let us know how it goes. Well, you ask a question of the Left and I will answer.

But one of the fundamental "changes" they were hoping for was an end to the fiscal irresponsibility of the past 8 years. The continuance of massive budget deficits and the continued ballooning of the national debt has really soured these voters on the Obama administration, which was supposed to change all of that. Unfortunately, I don't recollect hearing any specific emphasis in Obama's campaign speeches on debt or deficit reduction (other than his promise to review the budget "line-by-line"). That lack, coupled with his voting for the first "bank bailout," caused me not to vote for him. Of course, I couldn't vote for McCain either for the same reasons. Maybe the third party in the next national election will be the "Tea Party"!

Liberals are all about groups. "Who cares if a person gets hurt as long as it's for the good of the group," seems to be the party line for liberals. “It’s about the individual” is very much against modern Liberal thinking.
