I really cannot understand it. I feel like most Americans cannot see the truth or they simply do not care. The only people to blame for this entire mess are the Republicans, from Bush to the tea-party and Faux news. that quote by John Stuart MIlls is true, that that psycho Breivik paraphrased, about one person with a belief being more powerful than 99 with interests. That's what the tea party is. It is NOT the majority of the US, it is a minority, and yet these rabid nuts with the full backing of Faux News, propangandizes, and is able to completely paralyze our govt, and is basically making our policy. So these 10-20% are ruling the nation. While the majority of people say, let the tax cuts expire, because of these ideological rabid nuts we cannot make sane policy decisions. The ONLY people to blame for this rating downgrade are the TEA PARTIERS. THEY only want THEIR way. They do not care if the rest of the country is absolutely SCREWED, because they hate anyone who isn't them anyway. Palin said it all when she said "REAL Americans" because if other Americans do not agree with them, they aren't "REAL" Americans, whether they are white, black, Asian, whatever. The tea partiers are getting exactly what they want, they wanted Obama's presidency to "fail", they want to create mayhem, they do not want to see the country improve, not under a democratic president. While I blame them, I blame Americans who did NOT vote to keep these nutjobs out of office. What's happening in Wisconsin, I would hope that would galvanize people and make them realize exactly what the tea partiers are about, and boot their rabid butts out of office in 2012 but unfortunately, some people will not see the truth, they will be misled, confused by the Faux news propaganda and will probably blame the Dems, and that will lead to the tea partiers gaining more power and this country becoming more of a mess as they rule with their ideological craziness and people will become poorer which will lead them to gravitate even more to the extreme tea party. When people prosper, they are less likely to be extreme, when times are tough, people will be more attracted by extreme things and so it's a vicious cycle, and yet it benefits the tea party, it benefits them for the country to suffer. If we want things to get better, Americans need to marginalize the tea party extremists so that govt CAN work, that means voting out the nutjobs and giving Dems a TRUE majority, not the quasi majority they had before. I do not think we, Americans, will do that though so while the public thinks congress is crap, and it is, I wish some people would look in the mirror and realize how by possibly not voting, they have helped create this mess.
