“I sure wish there were a blog where that could all happen.”
lech, why don’t you set up a blog with all those features. It’s not that difficult to do. This way you can stop pining for a blog like that on here every day.
Folks should be like me and Lech. When I think he’s being too smug or just bullshitting, I call him on it, and vice-versa. Then I’m ready for a beer with him.
but you do these folks a disservice by stating that they are being “manipulated”.
In fact, like any grass roots movement, they are the ones setting the tone and pace. Sure there are voices on radio, television and cable that egg them on, but where does a movement get it’s momentum if not in actual experience:
in this case; rising unemployment and a very real sense of a government over-reaching and overplaying its true role in American society.
for the record, I do not consider myself a “tea party” person although they have the right idea about keeping the government contained.
Slopey, I know the point that you were making. I don’t think that the tea baggers correspond to the 60s protestors. More like the outraged, working class, enraged hard hats, who used to belong quite happily in the family of New Deal Democrats.
“These debates would be 100% more awesome if we could include embedded pics and video and there was a hot mostly naked chick in the corner. I sure wish there were a blog where that could all happen.”
