just seemed lame to me, considering we do have representation. Those of the first part didn't, but I guess it wasn't really suppose to be an accurate reenactment!!!!

:smile: thanx TJN i just don't understand why it is now wrong to scrutinize and criticize a President and his Administration The Bush Administration was put under a microscope for 8 years,so isn't it only fair that "We The People" put The Obama Administration thru the same type of scrutiny? questioning our leaders is one of the most patriotic things an American can do,it is also what Democracy is all about be seeing you

As long as there is a 2 party system, both financed by corporate America, the people will lose due to lack of funding.

Think of it as filing a lawsuit against a big corporation..... who will win?

All "we the people" must unite as the jury! We outnumber them! They have the money, but we have the power, if we stand together, united, as AMERICANS, NOT DEMOCRAT OR REPUBLICAN.

I guess it is if that is what your senator or congress person is voting for.

Please list what you think is wasteful.

Did your personal taxes increase this year. Are you getting a refund?

Very true but as long as people believe in the words that spew out of our elected officials, promises that can never be kept we will stay in the same rut we are in.

I stated before maybe the best thing that can come from the tea patries is one of the smaller less known political groups growing in powr or a new one formed.

I've said before congress's "tax cuts" on the federal level will do nothing for me. As long as my Governer is raising every tax we allready have in this state and trying to create new ones to cover the 6 billion more in spending he wants in the next budget.

In my lovely city they are going to in stall accent lighting to beautify the freeway yet our DOT is broke and cant replace street lights that are burnd out. I could go on but its a waste of time.

:smile: an interesting thought,i am willing to bet that some of the people who thought that The Tea Parties were Fox News propaganda are the same people who thought that The First Family getting a new dog was news-worthy be seeing you

One good example.... war!
It is good for big business, bad for the people, destructive to the economy!

Defence spending! While good on its surface, there is more spent on agencies to spy on and prosecute "citizens" who are later released uncharged, than to protect our borders (the Patriot Act).

To use an unconstitutional tax on wages, and refunds from them when none should be paid, not a good example. slaphead

FEMA camps.... they know what they created and what to expect. Not about Emergency Management for natural catastrophy..... most are located on military bases with no public access.....inland.

I'm not the brightest bulb in the box, but I do have eyes and questions.

What happens in your state has nothing to do with the topic. Sorry. Go to your governors house and have a tea party there.

If I am not mistaken the war pre-existed this administration. I think W decided what the budget for that was.

The answer is NO!!! But go ask Rush and his cronies if they will? They are leading the ordinary folks around by the nose, because they don't want to have to pay any taxes on what they make, by making Y'all think they are just like you and their concerns are just like yours. Get a clue!!!!

BHO did NOT have to follow his policies as he proved in repealing a small few of Bush's bills.

When Bush feels he is above Congress, can rewrite the Constitution at will, you think BHO has less authority?

I know little about the man. There is much controversy which I am still sorting thru. I do know, he has decided to continue the torture, he is simply sending our Gitmo prisoners elsewhere for it to continue, but he is also not repealing the presidential powers that Bush put in force to protect himself (or any President) placing them "above the law"!

BHO has changed nothing! He talks a good game, but show me anything he has done (and I stress this) to really change anything other than make promises!

His entire cabinet appointees are the people behind the problems we now face! This is going to make things better? "Do- overs" never work! They just get more confusing because those who initiated them had no clue in the first place! It's not them who suffers from their mistakes! "We the people" are their "guinea pigs" and all we hear from them is "oops, sorry!", then another "experiment"! We're just lab rats!

He has changed NOTHING! Only made more unfulfilled promises!

Maybe he has only been in office a short time, but he has not made a new beginning, only promises as all have done since Bush Sr.!
