This shooting has brought out the WORST in the Tea Party even if there is only a vague connection between the shooter and the Tea Party Members.
Everyday crazy accusations are made against Barack Obama and yet he keeps his head above the fray and tries to bring class & honor instead of finger-pointing & whining when it comes to those accusations.
Now the roles are reverse and there is alot of criticism and accusations being thrown at the Tea Party. Some of it is legitimate like newly elected members being hypocrites with their healthcare and earmarks and some are a bit of a stretch like the Tuscon shootings. But instead of showing the country why Tea Party members are the leaders we should elect we're seeing the type of leadership we could expect if we gave the Tea Party all the keys needed to run the nation. And quite honestly it's a damn scary concept.
If they keep acting like this, with leaders full of crass and not class, I can't see this tea party movement lasting more than one congressional term. Voters who gave them a chance are going to recognize that they elected cry-babies who think vile rhetoric is the way to run a country and not logic & common sense.
I think we're about to see the implosion of the Tea Party and I for one will enjoy watching it.
