The News-Record.com explores the Tea-Party, party of mystery, stumbles out of narrative and into a nugget of truth.
Caroll Huffman is worried.A voter for 20 years, the computer programmer from Kernersville says the United States is borrowing and spending too much.
“I think both parties have failed us as Americans,” he says.
Neither a Republican nor a Democrat, Huffman didn’t have a political home until after last year’s elections. He does now –– the tea party.
Yesterday Polifrog explored the impact of such disaffected voters through the Tea-Party's effect on the Bernie Reeves campaign in the light of this Victor Davis Hanson article. Polifrog wrote:
Bernie Reeves represented the old conservative party which defined itself in unflattering tones during the Bush years. Bill Randall, on the other hand, reflected the concerns of the Tea-Party. The Tea-Party arose, not only as a simple reaction against Obama's policies, but also as a reaction to the disappointment in the Bush/Conservative congress policies.
Neither party has proven itself capable of giving the public what it wants. Conservatives gave tax cuts but continued to grow the government. Later Democrats came along and offered campaign lies followed by governance more disappointing than what was administered by the Conservatives.
Both parties grow government. Both parties ignore the 10th Amendment. Both parties insist on disappointing an American public which is now in search of an alternative to the two parties offered.
Polifrog is part of this group of disaffected Americans touched on by the the article in the News-Record.com who are unable to call either party home. It is a shame that the most extreme of our two parties referres to supporters of fiscal comon sense and constitutional doctrin... racist.
It is a greater shame that the enticing power of governance has pulled both our parties so far from the concepts of liberty that Americans like Caroll Huffman are left estranged and forsaken.
