Should we listen to the tea party movement?

President Clinton says, “We should all listen to the tea party movement.” 

I sometimes wonder if Sarah Palin supporters, and some tea-partiers, really want to have an actual candidate, or just someone that tells them exactly what they want to hear. Even if it is complete rubbish about Kenya Birth Certificates, Sharia Law, Antichrists and secret Muslims. As far as Palin goes, I personally think it is all an act. Not the fact that she isn't the brightest bulb in the box, that much is true, but I don't think she believes or practices half the stuff that comes out of her mouth. This “mama grizzles, prayer warriors, guns guns guns” crap is just so shameless, because I know the lady is just selling a game to get elected. Here is my message to Palin and the Tea Party; Stop claiming Thomas Jefferson, Thomas Pain and Patrick Henry as your own. They were Libertarians, not theocratic college professors. Stop degrading their name.

Like Bill Maher said, you don't argue with these people. It's like trying to convince a devoted Catholic that there's no God and Evolution is no longer a theory. It's IMPOSSIBLE to get through these folks. But to each their own...if they want to live the lives of bigots, so be it. I'm just afraid of them getting into the White House.
