Back in September, I made a tea party collection post. For memories sake and for braninstorming purposes, I'm going to revist the ideas presented in the newspaper article, "Frustration and Fear Greet Obama in Town Hall Chat".
The article illustrated how willing Americans were to flock to the Tea Party, when not many even know the party platform or the ideals they represent. This was reflected even more so in this past Midterm election, when the political figures people were turning to were actually placed into office. Looking at the Tea Party, they want two conflicting things, to cut spending and not think about the repercussions on governments programs such as medicare and social security. It is difficult to get to the true meaning of the Tea Part and get through all the excitement, rhetoric, and scare tactics. I will explore this point further in my Tea Party editorial.
