The Tea Party Must Be Stopped

Anyone that I've had a conversation on politics knows that, even though I can't fully agree with the Democrats on everything, I CAN'T STAND REPUBLICANS.  Not so much their beliefs and ideologies, but the mean-spirited dumb ass politicians that belong to the party.  That intense dislike has been taken to another level with the appearance of the Tea Party...a group of hardcore GOPers that believe in small government and low taxes (...on the wealthy).  These closeted racists seem to be hell bent on taking the country back...I'm assuming from the black president and the liberal policy makers (didn't see them around when everyone was making money under Clinton did you?).  With the recent economic problems and stagnant labor market, they are seizing this opportunity to take over the nation's political discourse and are sure to make their presence felt in the national elections next November.  These people MUST be stopped for the nation to move forward.  Not only are they fracturing their own party (some pundits believe they will split the conservative vote because they're such hardcore fundamentalists) but they are not the group that's know for making concessions ANYWHERE.  When you have leaders go on record as saying their main goal is to make sure Obama isn't re-elected and they don't want to compromise so Obama/the Democrats won't score political points there there is a SERIOUS problem.  They're the main reason the debt deal went to the 11th hour...they're a group of people that would rather mess stuff up and gain political points for the next election than compromise for today's greater good.  It's really sad because the people suffering are hard working middle class Americans.  Hell during a debate there was cheering when Ron Paul was asked if a uninsured person should die under his health plan....what kind of shit is that?   It may not be economically feasible to save every one, but I don't want to be in a country where public figures are spewing that type of venom publicly.  Personally, I don't see how anyone that's been down and out at any point of their life can vote Republican.  Not even racial minorities, but the poor and middle class and anyone that has to deal with any -ism (sexism, classism, ageism, etc).  In my mind's eye, if you're not a young to middle aged, wealthy white male then the Republic rhetoric doesn't apply to you...but everyone can kick their boot how they see fit.  But for those of you who want to see another side, the video has a smart man breaking down all the "lies" being told by the Republicans.  Food for thought...
