O.K., not to pick on you Drew but you and the media have the same problem. And, quite frankly, y'all are driving me crazy. O.K., crazier <g>

The protests that have become known as the Tea Parties started BEFORE the Shiney Thing. It is all fine and dandy for the media to blame it all on the right wing crazies except that isn't who started it.

AND, would everyone please repeat after me. The Birthers were started BEFORE Teflon was nominated and by a DEMOCRAT! In fact, one who was at one time head of his state Democratic committee!

It is NOT people on the fringe. It is mainstream Americans who are sick and tired of the same crap year after year! Yes, there are some crazies out there but there are crazies out there at every single solitary gathering of anything that attracts a crowd!

That is because it truly is not an organized group following a theme, this
is a real honest to goodness uprising of people with a variety of problems
with what the current administration is doing. We have so many different
things being done right now with the economy, the bailouts, the huge debt,
the healthcare change proposals, the illegal immigrant issue as related to
several of these, the military is still in Iraq against promises to the
contrary, increased troops in Afghanistan, the Czars, the crooked pasts of the
current politicians in charge (nothing new here), the canceled pay increases
for welfare recipients, government motors, ACORN, and a number of other
issues that each have a group of opponents. Add that to the birthers and
others on the fringe and you get millions of upset folks who are upset of their
own accord. There was no call to arms, word spread and people showed up
with their own issues and signs. It is a unique time, I think.

Just looking at the signs from the photos of the Washington rally,
everyone
seemed to be there for a different reason...from anti-abortion, to
no-socialism, to Sarah Palin for President, to Audit the Fed, to just
plain
not liking Obama. It will be hard to find a platform/candidate they can
all
agree with.


That's just it. If you get out and talk to the people, they only put one
thing on their signs, but agree with most of the other signs. They all
fall under a loose catch-all to reduce the size of government.

A CNN reporter in NM stated that he couldn't figure out what the protests
were about. Basically the same thing you are saying. The protests are
about all of the above, collectively. I do not agree with all of the
sentiments expressed on signs, but do with a significant majority of them.
Collectively, these signs are saying people are sick and tired of big brother
government - not just one issue - but the whole kit and kaboodle. I'm
thinking, based on your point, that the news can not handle multiple objections all
at one time.
