In the past, I was strictly independent. I have supported both sides, depending on the position and the candidates' stance on the issues. This tea party stuff is worrisome. I will only be voting Democrat this November.
Kevin, you nailed it on the head when you said that the followers will believe anything and vote against their own best interest.
The blatant disregard for science and fact is scary. The scapegoating of teachers and education is mind boggling. A very populated county in the area started school about two weeks late because the county commissioners were unwilling to support a small property tax increase to cover the school system's budget. The reasoning was that people wouldn't want to move there if property taxes were higher. A poor school system that isn't open will keep a lot more people out than a slight property tax increase. It is in our society's best interest to have an educated population. Is the system perfect? No, but it's also not past the point of no return, either.
Finally, I can't support a group that hates women.
I think the comparison is apt.
