I hate to pop the bubble of the person who tossed out the overestimation of people attending the Sebring tea party, but I was there that afternoon too, but not for the political rally. It was my observation that the bulk of the people were there for the "scheduled" monthly car show as well as the "scheduled" popular talent contest that this rally disrupted. The number of people attending the rally was obviously much smaller than stated. As I walked around, people voluntarily offered these comments: From a nurse: "They are so negative." From a retiree: … "these people just hate anything Obama…" From a retired military person: "These people don't know how good a country we live in." ...more

Whenever I read or hear scare tactics used in the press or letters to the editor, I can easily identify the contributor to the Republican Party. I'm observing their reluctance, or inability to get over their hold on the reins of government leadership. More recently I have noticed they have used their cumulative wealth (or what's left of it) to even encourage public speaking for their Tea Party members. This Tea Party movement was encouraged by Fox TV for their own "entertainment." Yes folks, it is not a coincidence that Fox TV is called "entertainment" instead of a news station. During Busch's presidency, no similar mass effort was made by the Democratic Party out of respect of the presidential office. U.S. citizens should be more conservative of voicing their political opinions. They should make problems and concerns known to Congressional and Senate leaders through the proper channels such as e-mail, phone and mail addresses. This way voices are heard to the U.S. Government and not around the world. ...more
