This writer pointed out in previous commentary that there was no difference between the Tea Party republicans and the republican party in general except that they were more extreme and preach a more unAmerican conservative ideology. I believe their actions in congress the last couple of years justify that opinion. They have failed to initiate and pass any legislation dealing with the economy that has been signed into law.
They recently joined with other republicans in the House to kill the "Affortable Health Care Act" for the 37th time that will go no where. That coupled with their desire to see the President and the country fail is their M.O. On budget matters they can't even walk the talk. Like Mitch McConnell and John Boehner who were silent while Bush 43 was President and the republicans controlled both houses of congress, they were silent on the sidelines while Bush returned the country to deficit spending and debt.
Like their party in general, the Tea Party has nothing to offer the country or its people to advance the economic well being of our nation. They have no record of balancing the federal budget, no record of job creation, no record of debating the issues that face the country which is why they are always in a personal attack mode on their opponets.
And now their latest attempt to destroy the President is to try to create a scandal out of Benghazi, the IRS matter and the NSA revelations. The Tea Party has no character, courage and lack the civility that is needed for leadership. They also would like to destroy the government they took an oath to serve.
The nation and its people are Americans first and foremost. The Tea Party and the republican party represented by the conservative unAmerican ideology of today's leaders have failed the individual and national test of America first. And that really says it all.
