The Republican/Tea Party House Members Act More Like Dictators Than Legislators

The current Republican members of Congress act more like tin horn dictators than legislators.  The members of the so called Tea Party are among the worst when it comes to dictating to the country.  They have a "my way" or no way attitude that sickens intelligent people.  The media has fallen in love with the Tea Party and it's caused them to have more power than their actually voting power suggests. If they were as powerful as the media claims then Christian O'Donnell would have won.  The main stream media had all be written Sen. Harry Reid's epitaph before he came back and pretty much wiped Sharon Angle out.

That same media driven narrative is what got George W. Bush elected in the first place.  If it hadn't been for their love affair and favorable reporting at the time, Mr. Bush's drug and alcohol, and draft dodging problems would have been properly reported on.  For most intelligent voters the Tea Party is a small narrow minded group of extremist who have a mixed message at best.  On one hand they claim to be against big government, but yet they want to be in our bedrooms and personal lives by cutting social programs and saying what women can and can't do.  You can't be against big government, but be for big brother government at the same time.  They claim to be against government spending, while saying they don't want the government to touch the benefits like social security or Medicare.

The Republican party's agenda has become so extreme under the Tea Party's leadership that their hero Ronald Reagan policies would be acceptable to them.  If the Democrats had any guts at all, they'd stand up and say not only no, but hell no to the extreme ideas of the Republicans.  The country is in serious danger of becoming a one party dictatorship under Republican/Tea Party rule because the majority of elected Democrats are cowards.  It sickens me to watch my once proud party elected leaders buckle under to a few loud extremist group whose members carry racist signs, yell at and spit on black Congressmen.  If we don't stand up for what we believe in, then we don't believe and anything.
