My Two Bits on the Tea Party Enthusiasts

The Washington Times has a poll on the future of the Tea Party & invited comments. Here's mine:

I have found that the Tea Party enthusiasts are almost invariably the best-educated and least-bigoted prospective voters that I've encountered in over twenty years of political work of one sort or another. Rather than being narrowly focussed on one or two issues, the TP folks are aware of a broad set of issues that concern our national security and future. And the TP folks don't fit into any cliched bit of lock-step party line----some are for cutting defense, for instance, and preserving most of the entitlements they've already paid for in many years of useful employment.

Rather than being the moochers and parasites that the Dems nurture on their plantations of minorities too poor or too neglectful to pay taxes, the Tea Party folks pay taxes and their bills. That's why they're so upset with the reckless borrowing of the USG that mortgages our children's future.
