Idawa: No, the tea parties seem to be no more than partisan posturing - form without substance. I'm somewhat surprised by the hyperbole coming from the right fearing gun control and taxes on the average Joe, both of which have not happened under Obama, nor has their been any movement in congress toward such. They are quaking at boogeyman. Were the Dem's really this bad about Bush, seeing evil in every word and breath? Secondly, I think our forefathers would be a little ashamed. They protested actual oppression - this political stunt is simply a weak form of parody.

Question (from Idawa): Were the Dem's really this bad about Bush, seeing evil in every word and breath?
