The Tea Party has gotten a lot of attention this year mainly because it is an election year and what they say they want is really what everyone wants for the country, less government and debt.

It superficially sounds great, except the Tea Party is a lie, a sham and scam.

Party members are angry and frustrated and going to the streets to vent is all good but while they are good at saying what they want and railing against what is bad, they have no solutions other than demanding government cuts and reduced spending.

They don't say how this will be done. Cut spending... okay, where and how. Reduce government’s size, fine where will you cut?

What are their ideas for jobs, a competitive educational system, adequate health care and an effective national defense? They have no ideas, only generalities and those don't run a country nor do they change it.

All they complain about is Obama... Obama this and Obama that. They have demonized him to divert attention from their ignorance and lack of credibility. They conveniently ignore the fact that budget problems and big government existed before Obama. He didn't create them.

They call Obama names as if that is a solution and many even call him a Muslim because they can't all him a nigger. Muslim just sounds much better to a racist.

They claim they are a national movement but that too is a lie and sham. In reality they are a group of middle aged white people registered as Republicans. So how is that a national movement?

Further, they were curiously silent the past 9 years when the country entered two wars, adopted Medicare Part D and ran up deficits of about a trillion dollars a year from 2000 – 2008. They are still silent. Could it be the Republicans did most of that and they don't want to admit it?

Then the financial system crashed and now they want better accountability and less government to fix it but can't say what that really means. They have no ideas about about ways to make the country financially stable with a competitive edge in the world market place so we will have more jobs.
