Both Sides Are Afraid Of Them

"Them" is the Tea Party, and contrary to popular belief, Tea Party people are not Republicans. Tea Party people could be former Republicans or former Democrats or even former Independents. But no matter where they come from, I am sure all of them are people who are fed up with the current system.

Yes, there are members of the Republican Party who would like the Tea Party movement to side with them, but I don't believe that is what the people who attended all those Tea Party rallies all over the country had in mind.

The Democrats will say anything nasty they can about the Tea Party, because they are using that old political tactic of fear to get out their party faithful. The only problem with that is that many of their "faithful" are walking away and thinking hard about voting for the Tea Party Candidate.

The Democrats use the words Extremist and Radical to describe the Tea Party, but in truth it is more likely that they are Mom and Dad or Grandpa and Grandma, maybe even a Son or Daughter.

I believe most Tea Party people don't consider themselves in a political party. They just went to the rallies and decided to vote for other people like themselves who are upset with the Republicans and Democrats.

I think it is right that both major political parties are afraid of this Tea Party movement. They should be, because in the years to come, the Tea Party voters could replace both of our current political parties, and we all know how important staying in power is to those people. I think we can see now, staying in power is more important for the Democrats and Republicans, than the welfare of our country. That is the main reason there is a Tea Party movement.
