The series of attacks on Tea Partiers has jumped the shark. First, there were too few of them to bother reporting. Then they were sexual perverts — “tea baggers”. Then they were weird kooks. WShen that failed, they were too middle class. When that didn’t work, they were racists. Now the charges of using the N-word have been shown to be baseless, their opponents are reduced to claiming that they don’t have a comprehensive plan for running the government.

No group has such a plan. People who support Health Reform wouldn’t claim that Health Reform constitutes a comprehensive plan for running the government. People who opposed the War in Iraq weren’t asked to provide a comprehensive plan for running the government. One doesn’t need a comprehensive plan to oppose dramatic expansion of government.

In a prior thread, MG explained what Tea Partiers support: they want less federal spending, less government takeover of industries, adherance to the Constitution, individual freedom and personal responsibility, a balanced budget and a simpler and fairer taxation system.

I think it’s time for Tea Party opponents to stop looking for ways to demonize Tea Partiers and start addressing their issues on their merits.
