What's really weird is that we all are fighting so Tea Partiers can have a better life.

If Democrats accomplish their goals everyone's life will become more balanced and manageable, including the Tea People's lives.

If the Bublicans get their way everyone's life will become more difficult and limited.

We are fighting for a better world for the Teaps against their wishes.

It's just weird.

It's kind of like being the honest cop. Everyone still hates you anyway.

They were there in the past when they said it was preferable to seek peace with the King than to start a revolution. They were there when they said it was preferable to live in a Union with slavery than to try to start trouble to rid the scourge of slavery from this land, and today they're there to say that it's preferable to let the rich have their way than to start more trouble and challenge the power of the rich and ensure a more equitable society and more opportunity to everyone, and they will always be there telling us we can't go forward, but history shows that the tide moved against them time and time again.

Check the historical data. With a Democrat in the White House, not only is unemployment better, but growth in GDP, corporate profits, and the stock market all do better. Republicans always talk a big game on the economy and business, but when in power, they screw the pooch.
