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!

servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public."  Theordore
