Lynda, you totally missed my point, I agree completely with everything you  
said. These are regular
folks mad about all sorts of things that have just been drawn together. Yes 
 the tea parties started 
before, and continue on, yes the birthers started before, and SEPARATELY,  
yes these totally divergent
groups find themselves on the same lawn, joined by the crazies which gives  
the whole thing a bad
spin if you pay attention to the mainstream media. You have restated my  
point exactly. This is not one 
group with one leader.

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!
