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!
