Evolving meme on who tea partiers are

     They've never understood the movement. The idea of "grassroots," meaning that everybody is springing up spontaneously with no organized leaders, seems to be beyond the union thugs who pass out premade signs and stock their town halls with pre invited "guests." Baffling, that there could be that many patriotic souls who felt "The Call" simultaneously.
     You remember, when the MSM started reporting on the tea partiers, we were stupid uninformed rednecks. Oh, RACIST rednecks. Then in an effort to increase the shocking view of the tea partiers the whole RACIST thing became not only RACIST but HOMOPHOBIC.
     Don't forget the Nazi meme. 
     This seems to be wearing itself thin, and people are getting annoyed with all the isms being thrown around rather than actual reasoned arguments. Well, the difficulty is that reasoned arguments are difficult to come by since "we," the tea partiers, have no leaders, no one to argue with, no one to ridicule or tear apart or reputation to ruin, which is why the MSM and the left have been so nasty to the SIGNS, searching for misspellings and any nasty idea they could construe from the signs' meanings.
      Once the latest poll came out indicating that the tea partiers were better educated and more successful than some citizens, then hypocrisy became the descriptor of the day. These people want to preserve Medicare and Medicaid, which are government programs, but they don't want a new government program like health care? What seems to be beyond the grasp of the MSM writers at this point is understanding that, though Medicare and Medicaid are established programs that serve a purpose, they are underfunded, bankrupt and on their way to ruining this country. Those two programs exemplify every other government program that does nothing well: overpays its organizational employees, underserves the public, runs its organization into the ground financially and ethically...think US Post Office, Medicaid, Medicare, IRS, SEC, Immigration department...it's all a mess.
     So the last few days, the meme has changed. Ed Rendell, who seems to be a nice enough guy, said openly on Fox News yesterday. There aren't that many tea partiers, so you might as well ignore us. Don't take us seriously. Just because 4 or 500 people showed up in a small town like Perrysburg for a rally doesn't mean there are any more than a few thousand around the country.
     Apparently they haven't figured in that, for every person who shows up at a tea party rally, dozens more are sympathetic, not active, but will be trotting their little selves out to vote on November 2.
    All in all, this is a pathetic attempt at marginalizing a faction of citizens that the MSM and leftists don't understand, don't agree with, and don't care to respect. Most citizens can see through this, having watching the buffoonery and deceit of this administration's irresponsible actions.
    Eagles up, Patriots. 
   And don't give up the ship!
