#1 Obviously this representative of the people (snark) did not attend any of these tea parties. What a hypocrite. What she does not realize is that these tea parties transcend party. Republicans, Democrats, Libertarians, and Independents attended these tea parties. The people I saw were regular Americans. There were blacks and whites at the gathering that I attended. People are fed up with working for (being enslaved by) Washington for nearly half a year regardless of what party is in power. People are pissed at Washington for giving away our jobs and destroying jobs with frivolous laws, regulation and excessive taxation. People are tired of the elite government class that exempts themselves from the laws they pass and the regulations they create. People are pissed at the MSM that has put many of these people in office with their biased reporting (if it can even be called reporting).

#2 IIRC a study was done that showed while conservatives could think in a liberal mode, the opposite was not true. Liberals could not think in a conservative mode. Thus liberals and their leftest core can only engage in Freudian projection as to the motives and means of their ~~enemies~~ opponents. That is why they ascribe the actions to the efforts of rich republican money men. It's what they do. It is a major vulnerability of their position, not understanding the real opponent. Most Americans would whether 'sit it out' when it comes to politics. They want to be left alone to do their thing and let life pass. However, every now and then the pols do something real stupid that gets the mass's attention and not in a good way. When the public gets mad, really mad, its time to take notice or face the consequences. Desperate attempts to shut them down, to demonize them, will only lead to greater friction and a figurative or literal Concord Bridge.

#3 He's going to be sentenced December 21st? If I was convicted last week of tax violations and bank fraud the government sure as hell wouldn't let me stay free for the next eight months.

#4 He served his time a couple of years ago. The 'ironic' story was from 2005.
