Tea party

Hi

I want to give my take on what the tea party is and isn't.

For starters, the tea party (tp) is not a political party like the republican or democratic party. Instead it is more of a movement. To use it as a political party would be a complete disaster. Third parties have always been destructive to the very core beliefs they supposedly espouse. A recent example is the run of Ross Perot for president. The only thing he accomplished was the defeat of George Bush, the elder. The so called third party only served to upset the election. We do not need this any more.

What should the tp do? It should run as a movement and support candidates in either party who run on a platform similar to the tp movement. This would give the tp much more clout and it would send a message through the minds of politicians, "Do as the people want."

While watching TV I heard such pundits as Bill O'Reilly and Al Sharpton criticsise the tp movement. The point of view they urge the tp is to get leadership, run candidates and pass a platform. I say "No way." Follow the pattern I mentioned in the previous paragraph and really exert people power. Let's hope that the tpers do that.

Do your share, read about the tp and if you want to be part of the movement get active. Democracy and the United Staes needs to reclaim our freedoms from sleazy politicians. Stay active.

Please start by acknowledging the sacrifices made by our brave service people, pray for them.
GOD Bless
