What is your reaction to the Tea Party?

The Tea Party is disturbing because it seeks to legitimize and organize the under current of racism in this country that has been systemic since its origins. While groups like the KKK have remained on the fringes, the Tea Party seeks to go mainstream.

I think the Tea Party was high jacked by the professional right wing. They’ve been lied to and their flames have been fanned. I’ve talked to them and agreed that 51 percent of our taxes goes to military expenses. That’s outrageous!

Ridiculous and irrelevant. I watched the news when they were at the Boston Commons and a little kid commented that Sara Palin was dumb!

I think they’re over-reactive. Some of their views are off-point. I can’t follow their thinking.

I think it’s a ridiculous party. They come out of nowhere and do a bunch of crying because they can’t have it their way.
