Janeane Garofalo: “Herman Cain is probably well liked by some of the Republicans because it hides the racist elements of the Republican party. Conservative movement and tea party movement, one in the same.
Somewhere along the line this says more about the accuser than the accused.
Also, what’s a Republican to do to not be racist aside from become a Democrat?
And for a good overview of the Tea Party I suggest this article, Tea party gets bad rap for telling truth.
Barack Obama promised to change how Washington works, and instead exploited the worst of Washington’s ways to change America into something Americans don’t want.
So along comes the tea party, and those vested in the status quo resent having to answer to the taxpayers.
That was well-illustrated at the Detroit Economic Club lunch last week, when Democrat Rep. Sander Levin complained tea party beholden Republicans were risking a government shutdown by demanding emergency relief spending be offset with cuts elsewhere. Said Levin: We’ve never paid for disaster spending. To which Republican Rep. Candice Miller replied: “We’ve never paid for anything. That’s why we have a $14 trillion debt.”
That’s the tea party talking. And it’s hard to see why anyone would be frightened by such a commonsense message of fiscal responsibility.
