I'm having trouble understanding the Tea Party or people whom would vote for them. The Tea Party has essentially taken the Republican Party hostage, and in turn, has attempted to take the U.S. economy hostage through the threat of a government shutdown.
The Tea Party does not seem to believe in government, so why would a person who doesn't believe in government run for office? I'm not a religious person. You're not going to see me apply to be the pastor at a church.
Do some voters think, "Well, they hate government as much as I do, so I might as well vote for them!"? Yet how would that really make sense? Do such politicians and voters want this country to fail? Would it be wise to hire teachers whom hate teaching and think the practice should be abolished? Would it be smart to hire cops and firefighters whom think people should just take care of themselves and not ever contact them in case of an emergency? Would it be good to hire doctors whom don't believe in medicine, surgery, or people's well-being?
Regardless of the differences in opinion between Democrats and Republicans, conservatives and liberals, I'd like to believe that at the end of the day, most people on both sides of the aisle want our representatives to do just that - represent us - compromise and move this country ahead. This appears to be in stark contrast to Tea Partiers, whom seem to be more interested in taking down the government than representing the people and moving this country forward.
