I mentioned this a few weeks ago, but it seems to be getting more and more likely that the Dems may be in for a replay of 1994.

In general, Americans don’t like politicians who go to extremes, and when any one party is in control, they ALWAYS go to extremes.  Clinton tried pushing through health care and it was a disaster for the Dems.  Bush got it in 2002 and pushed through the Iraq fiasco – which led to the current Dem majority.   Now it appears that Obama is heading down the same path.

You know things are bad for Democrats when the NY Times opinion page has 3 stories – and they are all complaining about Democrats.  Check them out.

The Lady and the Arlen – Gail Collins

They Still Don’t Get It – Bob Herbert

Mobs Rule – Charles Blow

I’ve seen dozens of stories tonight about how the Tea parties are a protest against Obama and how they are protesting high taxes.  Bullshit.

A few high profile Republicans such as Sean Hannity, Newt Gingrich, and Dick Army hijacked the Tea Party concept for their own political purposes.

The Tea Parties are not anti-Obama.  The Tea party movement is a protest against bailouts and government spending and regulations in general.   They were originally non-partisan until some neocons hijacked them.

I am against big government in all it’s forms.  I am against privacy violations as much as I’m against bailouts and higher taxes.  The Republicans are lying scumbags – GWB created more federal debt than all previous presidents combined – and for them to act self-righteous now makes me sick.

Don’t get me wrong – anything that stirs up resentment against more government interference in our lives is a good thing!  But I’m sick of the media turning the events of today into a Republican VS. Democrat protest, because that diminishes the impact of the protests.

Just after I posted this I read another article that says it better than I did.  Check out how E. Thomas McClanahan said it in the Kansas City Star.
