Not Your Cup of Tea (Party)?

Adapted from a friend today on Facebook:

Democrats spent 2009 screaming Tea Partiers were “racist.” Democrat poll numbers dropped. Democrats spent 2010 screaming Tea Partiers were “presidential assassins.” Democrat poll numbers dropped even lower. Democrats spending 2011 screaming Tea Partiers are “terrorists.” Where do I donate to keep this up?

The Tea Party did not cause the debt crisis or the S&P downgrade. Don’t be fooled into believing they did.

A broken system in Washington caused that. And that’s what the Tea Party wants to fix.

I don’t agree with everything the Tea Party has done. And I don’t support every Tea Party endorsed candidate.

But they are not the enemy.

Washington is broken. The Tea Party knows that. And they know it’s time for some real change.
