Articles in this morning's NYT addressing a poll about the teabaggers and what they want, who they are, etc.

I know I'm preaching to the choir, but I don't give a damn what they want. Sure, it's a free country and all that, but they lost their right to bitch and moan when they let 8 years of the Bush administration bring this country to near ruin. They let their good 'ol boy, W, declare war for no good reason on two sovereign nations. Granted, nations that you wouldn't want to invite over for dinner, but sovereign nonetheless. No defined mission, no means to pay for it.

They let their buddy, squander a surplus, eliminate just about all government regulation and bring this nation to its knees. In those 8 years we lost millions of manufacturing and service industry jobs, i.e., jobs all over the map - gone.

They are oblivious that the policies enacted over the past 15 months will benefit them in the short-term and the long-term. They are willfully ignorant of the role of government generally and the positive impact of government services on their lives.

Of course, the list goes on, and others have been more eloquent than I, but to see these morons given front-page coverage is a travesty.
