The grass roots effort got hijacked years ago, just as it was getting off the ground. I actually saw an early Tea Party rally that they had here and it wasn't so off the wall as what you see with them now. Basically the impression I got from that was 'cut spending to a sane level and don't raise our taxes'. Frankly that was a sentiment I could agree with. With some of the stuff I see now I have to wonder how many of the people at that first rally I saw have dumped the Tea Party.
Come to think of it we haven't had a Tea Party rally here in ages (that I've seen anyway) so maybe all of them did. -----Original Message----- From: Zaphod Beeblebrox [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Saturday, October 23, 2010 12:50 PM To: cf-community Subject: Re: Another example of GOP going off the deep end - violent overthrow. It does make me wonder how much of the tea party is grass roots effort and how much is manufactured by other sources.
