It's Not My Fault - It's the Tea Party's - Again

This post was inspired by my dear Senator Warner. While driving in my car, listening to the radio I heard a soundbite from Senator Warner yesterday complaining about his colleagues who were being bullied by the Tea Party! So that's why the Senate cannot come to an agreement to keep the government running - those pesky, radical tea partiers and their desire for fiscal responsibility!

Dear Senator Warner, 26 Sep 2011

I heard your comments on the radio yesterday and they were quite upsetting. The refusal by the Senate to take up the CR passed by the Congress is another failure of the Senate to act in a fiscally responsible way. You were offered disaster aid along with accompanying cuts to offset the additional spending. However, the senate chose not to even put it to a vote because of the hold the green industry has on the Democrats. Worse than that is your assertion that somehow this is the Tea Party's fault. So, anyone who displays fiscal restraint is now being bullied by the Tea Party? You all may have the media on your side, but the American people can see exactly what's going on and who is looking out for the interest of Tax Paying American Citizens. Your mentality of throwing in another couple of billion dollars in spending without cutting "non-essential" spending elsewhere is business as usual. The challenging times in which we now find ourselves requires changes to the spending paradigm enjoyed by our representatives over the last several decades. I think you all keep forgetting whose money it is you are spending and how dire our economic outlook is!

The Senate refuses to cut spending dollars supporting an industry that, in the last few weeks, has cost us half a billion dollars (Solyndra)!!

Whose fault was that debacle? The Tea Party's?

Sincerely,

I Didn't Just Hear That ....Oh Yes I did!

Not once, not twice, but three times this week the Tea Party has been the target of left wing radicals. Who knew the Tea Party would become such a powerful force and warrant such wrath?

Dear Senator Warner (Webb and Connolly),

I hope you were as disgusted as I was at the language used by the Teamster President to introduce the President of the United States, the leader of the democratic party! In case you haven't read or heard, here are some of the highlights:

"We got to keep an eye on the battle that we face: The war on workers. And you see it everywhere, it is the Tea Party. And you know, there is only one way to beat and win that war. The one thing about working people is we like a good fight. And you know what? They've got a war, they got a war with us and there's only going to be one winner. It's going to be the workers of Michigan, and America. We're going to win that war,"

"President Obama, this is your army. We are ready to march. Let's take these son of bitches out and give America back to an America where we belong,"

This sort of language should have no place in an event where the President is going to give a speech.

So now the Tea Party is waging a war on workers? What I know about the Tea Party is that they have 3 guiding principals; fiscal conservatism, adherance to the U.S. Constitution and less federal intrusion in our daily lives. If the unions consider these three principles as a war on unions, what then are the union's principles?

More important, where is the outrage from the President? Or from any democrat? The language used over the last week by Maxine Waters and Congressman Andre Carson went without any condemnation. Is this what political America has become? I wish you would stand up for all of America and ask your colleagues to be civil. One individual or group should not bear the brunt of such hateful political rhetoric. Your silence gives approval to this despicable behavior.


Sincerely
Palma Hutchinson
