The Tea Party most of all stands for the ugly America that George W. Bush represented. That America that a good portion of the American citizens hate and almost universally the citizens of the rest of the world hate.
Why would from what Fox News tells us so many people want to return to that? My only conclusion can be fear. I'm so tired of the endless media attention the Tea Party is getting. The Tea Party leadership is a group of very wealthy Southern attorneys who have been accused of having links to the KKK. Whether or not that is the case the leaders of the "movement" have repeatedly made public racist statements. Its clear that at the basic level the Tea Party is an angry white religious political interest group ... that would happily bring back Southern Apartheid and violate the Constitution by forcing all Americans to be Christians. Turn on FOX news even and that is all you see angry white hillbilly types with racist, religious zealotry slogans painted on their placards ranting and raving made up "founding father" quotes senselessly. Its just an obstruction movement being funded by Wall Street and the Moral Majority. If it was a truly patriotic movement it would be a-political .. and its not ... its a whose who of the far right of the Republican party .... plain and simple. Just the latest political publicity stunt. Just angry McCain (McCan't) voters who are incensed that we have an African American president now and that the party that cares more about the average citizen is in power.
The absolute deception about the "founding fathers" that has been going on for so long by conservatives is really laughable to me. Certainly if they were alive today many of the "founding fathers" would identify with the ultra right wing conservative Southerners, however Jefferson would likely be an Obama administration cabinet member and Franklin would as well. As for the rest its highly debatable and really a moot point. But this just demonstrates the idiocy bordering on insanity that the right wing uses. I feel it boils down to the religious connection. If your willing to basically tell lies and sell a system which is clearly a bunch of BS ... for your religion. Why would you have a problem making things up and telling lies to people about your politics?
The bottom line is the forces that control the Republican party are essentially in control of the Tea Party and the same hillbilly crazy right wingers are showing up at all the Tea Party gatherings and protests. The Republicans called the passing of the health care bill Kabuki theater ... well if you want to see real Kabuki theater take a look at the Republican led Tea Party movement. Its a "movement" that can say the things the Republicans can't yet the Tea Party is 100% beneficial to the Republican party. There is no criticism of the Republicans by the Tea Party ... essentially just a desire to return them to power ... so how is this a "movement" at all ... at the end of the day its just a carefully orchestrated get out the votes for conservatives "movement."
