You needn't bother.

Really, it's not necessary at all.

Okay, then. Articulate, in thoughtful dialog, exactly what it is the Tea Party stands for. Only leave out the pseudo-patriotic and religious drivel please. Be specific. No nebulous generalities like simply shouting "freedom" or how much you hate Obama, or fear anything you see as "un-American". Please, tell me just how things are supposed to be so wonderful and utopian under Tea Party tenets? I really want to know just what will be so great about a country where no one gives a shit about anyone else and the wealthy and powerful have free reign to ride us as hard as they like and demand whatever they want from us? Leave us to drop dead if we don't deliver?

To be fair, I do think you have a nice vision of your American Xanadu........I just don't think you realize that that is not where you are taking us. If you take power from elected government and hand it to the private sector, you are handing it to people NO ONE ever voted for. This is NOT freedom or democracy. It is something far different, and far less desirable, IMHO.

Regards,
Dave

Pretty soon the Tea Party will try to pass a constitutional amendment reverting to voting only by the landed gentry. That'll solve a lot of problems in trying to convert our republic to a plutocracy.

Here's another quote for you, my tea-sodden friend.

(The Tea Party is)
"..... but a walking shadow, a poor player
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury
Signifying nothing."

John
Nice John...

But I wasn't talking about "Life"

Understand that this little sugar high you've been on will run it's course and inevitably cause a crash and ensuing meltdown of pissy proportions. Just wait for the push back against the Rombot's blatant lying in Colorado. Mitty is going to need a double dose of ambien to calm the butterflies at the next debate. The town hall format is an entirely different beast which will show Romney to the country for the bald faced liar, that he most certainly is.

Will you still be here when the polls turn? Think worms or better yet a spirochete, if you need a visual.
