It was started due to its objection to the Affordability and Stability Plan act. That act was one month into Obama's presidency. You know the one that subsidized losers mortgages during the great recession. Right out of blocks, Republicans were opposed to anything that Obama would do to help regular Americans.
All they wanted to do was balance the budget! It was formed one month into Obama's presidency. Where the hell were they in the eight years before Obama was elected president? |
Just as I thought. You are ignorant of the Tea Party. As you probably know (maybe not) wikipedia is often wrong. I'm going to give you another try and even a hint. 2004 is before Obamacare. I'm not going to insult you on this. I really want you to know something about it. I didn't know about it, so I can hardly be that judgmental. However, I did not disparage them not knowing what I was talking about. I apologize for be abrasive with you, but getting old(er) sometimes causes one to become cynical when it comes to folks that act like they know it all and yet, when you dig a little, you find they were speaking without any background on the subject. I believe that once you get past the myths thrown out by the party line, you might find that you have common goals with the TP. Some common goals. I do, and yet I am not a member. I don't want to be a member, but it has nothing to do with not believing in them. Originally, it was not restricted to just Republicans, but I do not know about it now. They used to have quite a few Democrats and Independents as well. I have no idea of their make up at present.
