As of late, the rhetoric that is going from the Democrats to the Tea Party has been getting increasingly severe. Recently, Senator John Kerry and Vice President Joe Biden have called the Tea Party a bunch of terrorists and extremists. Also, Congresswomen Maxine Waters said that the Tea Party "can go straight to Hell" and Congresswomen Frederica Wilson says "the true enemy is the Tea Party". All of this is unacceptable. I can't stand the name calling, especially from these folks. I realize that I may be a little bit biased but the fact of the matter is, nobody, Republican or Democrat, should be name calling like little grade-schoolers. I think that the party's platforms should be able to stand on their own and speak for themselves. I hate smear campaigns, I think they are annoying.
On a related note, I was watching Hannity yesterday and he was running a story about how, in 2008, the then Senator Barack Obama called President Bush's irresponsibility with the federal budget "unpatriotic". Bush spent 4 trillion in 8 years. And as of right now, now President Barack Obama has spent 4 trillion in little over two and a half years! Who's unpatriotic now Mr. President? Not that I condone name calling or anything. Haha. No but really I don't like it, no matter who it is coming from.
