We Need A New Standard Of Politics

Having had connections with Tea Party groups from back in April of 2009, I am not surprised to see the recent aggressive behavior. In my first contact with TP web site discussions, it was about debt, bailouts and taxes that were the running issues.

I have watched it progress from being angry with congress all together, to being angry with this administration and democrats. Legitimacy of Obama's credentials was there in the beginning, but gradually built up momentum. (It has dropped significantly since.)

I have literally been silenced on Tp hosted blogs, no longer having links on the home page to my articles as it used to. This only happened when I first started defending federal healthcare reform effort for lack of state efforts and later rejecting Palin as a possible leader when the media called us leaderless.

Apparently I was to “liberal” for their (and I mean the organizers here) agenda, which I would call a political witch hunt. I spoke out about Fox News' biases and focused on Glenn Becks radicalism saying that they were being indoctrinated. Needles to say, that was the end of that... I had struck the holy grail.

When writing to my congresswoman and senators about news conferences, and theirs and other republicans comments, I received generic letters in return with no references to the subject. I wanted to know why they fed the fire and never tried to clear up any fears and misconceptions.

I have been around for far too long to completely expect anything different about these kind of politics. It was just a formality to determine if I would ever vote for them again.

I must say though, I truly think things have gotten away from them this time, and the party of no's 2012 elections plan may very well backfire on them to say the least.
