Because eventually people just like you are going to figure out there is no silver bullet. This problem is a knot, and you ain't gonna untie it by protests, phone calls, or strongly worded letters.
The only way we are going to untie it is by finding people to actually put their hands on it. And they are not going to be the type of people that will put their nose up your bung-hole for you to grant them the opportunity to do so.
I just pray they are "founding fathers" and not Bolsheviks.
Are you one of those people that looks at a knot and says, "It's too complicated so I won't bother to try!"?
Untying a knot requires someplace to start. No one here is claiming that the tea parties are a silver bullet. But. It is a strand and a place to start. Again, I ask, why are you here? Simply to criticize? Are you planning on doing nothing? That's okay if you are. Just stop looking at the rest of us a doing something worthless. It's simply not true.
......The only way we are going to untie it......
This presumes it can be untied. It cannot. The election was won by marxists who are going hell over heels to bring their destructive change as rapidly as possible. There may be mediation in 2010 but I wouldn’t count on it and even so, the socialist genii can’t be put back in the lamp.
Tea parties will be effective only if there are contacts made that will form the revolution.
