    They are for getting our fiscal house in order, for keeping taxes low, for balancing the budget, for cutting spending and bringing down the debt.

    The WAY they may want to do it may be wrong. I usually don't like to say groups are "against" America. i.e. the Democrats. I think they're largely spending us into oblivion. But I don't say they're anti-America because of it. I think they're doing what they think is right from their point of view. I think there's still a way to work together to solve the issues our country faces.

    The supporters are against government taking from citizens to punish them for what government and government lobbyist contributors caused themselves. Although big oil and other businesses has infiltrated the movement to push anti American rhetoric. Taxing people saying the rich need to give more while giving the ultra rich the taxes in forms of stimulus is all a hustle and influenced by Karl Marx's social conflict theory to get redistribution of the wealth for the mega wealthy to stay in power. The rich average citizen not involved with government or Wall Street didn't build the debt, government and Wall Street did.

    The Tea Party is for the part of the American Constitution or the making of laws that favor them... the rest be darned. Draping yourself with the flag on every argument does not validate your position. They always call on the wisdom of the forefathers, even in issues the framers of the Constitution could not have imagined so many years ago.

    Against. They have caused this government shut down. Now children with cancer cannot go through clinical trials for treatment. Now veterans cannot see war memorials. Now we cannot get loans or permits. The House passed Obamacare. It was passed by the Senate and signed by the president. It was approved by the Supreme Court and cannot be overturned by some rebels in the House. It does not matter how hard they stomp their feet.

    Secessionism, government shut downs, praising Vladimir Putin over their own country. Clearly these aren't American values.

    I support the Constitution, not Obama.
