From my perspective, Tea Party supporters are just every-day average Americans, wanting to bring accountability and responsibility back to government. The average politician goes brain-dead once they get inside the belt-way, and have little regard for their constituents until it's election time. If they would spend more time in their respective home districts and less in Washington D.C., they'd have a much better understanding of what's going on in the lives of average Americans.
Yes and that is the way it was designed 238 years ago. It has not been that way for some time. Does the term citizen servant ring a bell? That's the way it is supposed to be. They are only to stay in Washington just until the legislative session is through. They are then to return home and take care of their work and businesses. To be close to their constituents and see the problems they face.
Today with all of the corruption and lobbying these people have become career politicians. That is the main reason why our government has become so pathetic. We need term limits or we need honorable men and women to limit their terms and let someone else take over. The longer these "people" stay in Washington the more out of touch and corrupt they become.
