The hijacking of the "Tea Party" movement.

In 2007, the election was looming and the campaign trail was extremely fresh. It was chock full of potential candidates from all walks of the political spectrum but one man rallied everyday citizens to abandon the rhetoric that is modern politics. Ron Paul stood for something more, maybe a time so far gone that few can even fathom a country with limited government. Soon all over the country groups of people started popping up and assembling under one cause. It didn't matter if you were a Democrat, a Republican, or even Green Party, the point was that you were tired of big government's out of control spending and unconstitutional progress. No one really invented this movement but like all famous movements it came into being through need. The need was to hear the cry of American citizens who had enough of Bush's policy and refused to put up with anymore limitless spending, desecration of civil liberties, and interventionist foreign policy. The movement garnered national attention and at one point was branded an anarchist movement which it was absolutely not. A force was being born.
