Thanks for another great comment.

I definitely remember Bush’s stimulus and I definitely didn’t like it either. I especially didn’t like that he went from the tax cuts to the stimulus.

I don’t like the growth of government regardless of which party it comes from, and I sort of touch on that in the Bipartisanship post I made somewhere on here recently.

Anyway, I too am glad to see that more and more people are starting to be against the idea of a larger and larger government. Did you see the CNN poll released today that shows a majority of American’s consider the government a threat to their rights?

I attended the April 15 Tea Party last year. I consider myself part of “the movement.”

It is not so much a movement as an awakening. As a slumbering giant was awakened at Pearl Harbor, I think that the Tea Party is much the same.

Note that the restlessness started to show before any Obama legislation was passed. It has certainly increased with the Stimulus bill and other Obama Administration activities.

I was opposed to Bush’s stimulus – did you forget that one? It isn’t any more correct if a Progressive Republican does it.

It isn’t an organization. If it has leaders, their leadership is ephemeral.

It is a reaction to bad ideas that have taken root. And there are bunch of everyday gardeners ready to do some serious weed pulling in the political fields.

I don’t necessarily consider myself a Republican and have never claimed to be “brilliant” and I’ve never suggested that I support “Bush’s TARP.”

I don’t want Democrats to increase the size of government and I don’t want Republicans to increase the size of government – that’s why I consider myself to be a conservative.

Can any Republicans who consider themselves brilliant explain how Bushes TARP was NOT Socialism? Can any of you tell me, regardless of what your Party SAYS it believes in and has for however long, I should trust a sole word of it after watching continuing deficit spending under your pols? I excuse Reagan from this – the Eastern Bloc needed to be vanquished and I reckon he’s the only leader of the last 50 years who had a sensible excuse for it and as I see it we broken their backs economically. But since then?
