Tea Party loses its Groove

Being trapped in a life of poverty for so long, I am quite aware of how disappointing it is to believe in something or someone and have that faith shattered.  This is probably what many in the Tea Party is now feeling after starting off with such great promise only to now be seen as a meager figment of its former self.  Confused as to my announcement so far, let me explain.

The Tea Party first formed to hold officials accountable, lessen the role of government in our everyday lives, curb the spending and bring in leaders who will create jobs.  They have failed on 3 of the 4.  I give them a pass on the curbing spending mainly because without government involvement, this economy would not be seeing any type of recovery but the other 3 I cannot help but ask each and every remaining person who claims the label of Tea Partier, what happened?  You were given an opportunity to demonstrate what you said that you could do but right now that which you are eating right now is not chicken, its crow.

In your sermon of lessening government’s role in our everyday life, your representatives have done nothing but turn over the keys to government when it comes to the rights of voters, the rights of women and the rights of workers.  How can you consider this as lessening the role of government when you have allowed government to expand not only in America’s workplace but within a woman’s uterus?  When it comes to leaders you choose to create jobs, please show me one bill (until recently) that has been proposed or passed by any of those you sent to Washington DC or the State Houses.  Many of you were demanding concrete actions within the first six months of this administration so where is the demand from those you sent or do they get more time?  When it comes to holding your newly elected leaders to account, I see a bunch of people running around doing what they want and unless Tea Partiers are okay with revoking the rights of women, slapping all veterans in the face who fought for the right for all Americans to vote or do not care whether jobs are created regardless of who proposed them.

You have lost your groove, Tea Party and while you glimmered in the beginning, full of hope and desire.  Where many saw you as the vehicle of real grassroots change, you have now become a meager 15% of the population and failed to break even on all that you promise to deliver.
