I thought the Tea Party wanted to take the country back from

[OHdem10]

Special Interests. The amount of Corporate and Big Interest
money going into the Republican coffers cannot be measured.
The Republicans will never more bound to Big Money special interests.

The Teabaggers are putting them in office. How ironic????

1. Well, none of special interests are supporting a Black President

That's the only thing that counts

2. don't expect logic out of the teafluggers

3. No take the country back means two things to the Tea bag crowd, 1) they want to take

the country back to the glory days of 1950 when men were men and women were bare foot pregnant with black eyes. The days of segregated schools, restaurants and water fountains, where uppity brown people knew their place. 2) They misunderstand the business models of the 1950,s, in their minds it was a period of low taxes because there were few social programs that did more then put a few days of food on the poors table. What they also miss is the military industry wasn't taking over 50% of the taxes paid into the government. We know the facts of the 1950 tax code, they have Reagans lies.

They also forget or don't know that the American government protected industrial jobs from unfair trade practices of foreign companies or that the American worker was doing well because of trade unions. Or that people were leaving the south in order to work as union members in the north. They want to rewrite history so Reagan isn't known as the president who caused most of the mess we currently face today with his trickle down economics voo doo.

4. they just want their special interests in charge, not ours (which is the best we can do ATM)

5. Yup. The teabaggers are complete hyprocrites and they don't know it.

Special interests have control over the issues on the right. Low taxes and deregulation are presents for rich people.
