7. I agree the problem in the US the teaparty is masked in liberal imagary

Class warfare, inequality, unequal access, unfair tax system, job creation, job protection...

If you hear what people are scared about and want fixed, it isn't different than what liberals want. The problem is the right is very good at labeling conservative ideas in liberal language to make it sound like to be against it is to be against what you are actually for. It works because they use simple language and simple targets that many Americans (particularly if your say a racist, or homophobic, paranoid about the gov'ment to start) can latch onto.

For instance: It's hard to discus an issue like putting Americans back to work, when the person believes destroying unions, will some how create more opportunities for them in the workforce.
