I attended the Tea Party in Canton, Ohio, and was very much impressed and heartened by the comments made by every speaker and the MC that were very purposefully addressed to ALL AMERICANS regardless of political persuasion or financial situation and that remained focused on the taxes we are paying, how and for what they are being spent, and the role we all have in selecting “representatives” who we elect to carry out our wishes. This can be summed up by a previous responder: “Let me see: Politicians taking money we will have to pay for and giving it to other politicians who will make it disappear, yeow. I truly fear for this country.”
With regard to the much needed and continued success of the Tea Party movement, I believe that the vast majority of Americans fall into a political middle that has become very “fat, dumb, and happy” and, as a “sleeping bear” once awakened, re-educated, and invigorated, can bring this country back to its senses and original intent. The movement requires NEW and purposeful leadership, trust, well-defined goals and objectives, persistence, and perfect timing. Representing the vast “middle America” and distancing itself from all others, a new Constitution Party may not be too far-fetched.
