The tea party movement is turning out to be a threat to the business as usual in Washington.

And who said the tea party movement was only relegated to the republican party? I guess the faithful and the media only play it that way.

Perhaps it is unfortunate the movement toward not electing incumbents and changing business as usual in Washington was labeled tea party and then polarized.

There are American voters across the board who are fed up with the way Washington works or does not work. There is no need to constantly be trying to force every single outcome into either an R or a D.

Once upon a time such a general displeasure with an activity or organization or individual, etc was called a groundswell....no partisan assignation required.

The sooner we get back to discussing what is good for America and give up on the destructive need to paint everything R or D... the better. Just think of what we all do every single day that does not involve an R or D need.....just about everything we do....now why is that? Because there are some things that politicians and the media know....and that is ultimately you cannot make Americans do what they don't want to do or don't like.

And the majority of us do not like what is going on in Washington and the majority of us do not like the way Obama and congress is doing it. No R or D required to present what America feels. (I do recognize what a major discomfort that presents for those who only know partisan positioning only...what a shame for them).
