At the core of your problem is ignorance. Maybe you should
actually attend one of the events.

I had lunch with a bunch of TP supporters after one rally, folks with
"Don't Tread On Me" shirts. Mostly seemed like nice folks, if
ill-informed on a range of issues, e.g. the TARP money is all gone
and will never be paid back. But a few of them I wouldn't want
living next door, the kind who *know* Obama was born in Kenya and
disagreeing leads to a drop in the temperature and some very hard
looks. As I've said before, they're entitled to be ****ed off, but
it would be nice if they'd figure out who they should really be
unhappy with. They seemed unaware that the national debt doubled
while Bush was in office, for another example, but they're furious at
how those Democrats spend money....

The total deficit for 8 years of the Bush administration was a staggering
$700 billion. The deficit the first YEAR of the Obama administration was
twice the eight-year bush total, eclipsing $1.45 trillion.

Here's a chart.

True, Obama had a meltdown of the financial markets with which to contend.
But Bush had two wars, Katrina, and 9-11.
