After deciding to write this opinion piece the twist on Ronald Reagan's now famous line about government being the problem quickly jumped into my head. Since the conservatives decided to band together under the TEA
party banner so to speak in this country they were quickly attacked by the left and the "lamestream" media. One has to ask themselves why? Obviously the left considered them a serious problem since they did everything they could to squash the TEA party revolution from taking root in America. TEA partiers were called old, simple minded, racist, old-fashioned, prude, buffoons by almost every left based group in America. Now Howard Dean and a few others are once again vocal in blaming the TEA partiers for all the problems in America instead of accepting any of the blame themselves.
How long has the democrats in this country been in control of the House, Senate, and now the White House? How about in state and local governments? How much debt does America have at city, state, and federal levels? The economy doesn't get as bad as it is overnight...it takes time, and who has been at the helm for all this time? Don't get me wrong I'm a strict independent myself and a realist. I blame both sides of the aisle for the messes we are in, however the Republicans (maybe it is just window dressing) have at least stood up and said in a roundabout way that they have made mistakes. They even have promised us that things will be different, yet we haven't seen that really go into full swing yet. I personally feel that the problem isn't with just one political party or any specific group...the problem is the old school politicians playing the political game as usual.
