What is going on?

About a year ago I attended a Tea Party in Jacksonville and wrote a Blog about the experience. Since then there have been additional Tea Parties in this area. Tomorrow there are quite a few Tea Parties to commemorate Tax Day and the opposition to the enormous deficit. They are in Jacksonville, Orange Park, Middleburg, Green Cove Springs, and St. Augustine. There may be more that I have not heard about. In Jacksonville it is planned to be larger than ever, even with a famous band providing entertainment. This time there will be local politicians to speak, unlike when I went and there were no politicians present. As significant as all this is,I understand that there are plans for more and larger Tea Parties on July Fourth. This movement has collected some money and now has organizers that are renting buses to get people to a Tea Party. This is very strange because there is no single acknowledged leader for this movement. More than a few people are intending to run for office and saying they are members of the Tea Party. Unlike Republicans that are a known party, there is no membership for being a Tea Partier nor is there a card to hold saying you are a member. Now I hear that there is an attempt to organize a third party to be known as The Tea Party. This is beyond belief since a goal of the Tea Party is to vote them all out. That cannot happen if votes are split between Republican and Tea Party. Stay tuned for additional strange things in our Country's political events.

  2. Being a conservative in LA LA Land my vote has not made a difference for over 26 years. I vote for the most conservative candidate regardless of political party. That is why I did not vote for McCain or Schwarznegger. I would much rather be represented by a conservative Democrat (if there ever is one) then a liberal Republican any day. If that means Democrats control government, so be it. At least it will be a more conservative Democrat party.

    I'm with Uncle John. Vote for the right person don't vote for the party. Voting for the party is what gave us the current mess!
