How to explain the tea parties in a way the Left will understand.

Imagine the sum total of all of the outrage and indignation that Leftists felt during the eight years of the recent Bush presidency because of the Florida recount, No Child Left Behind, the invasion of Iraq, Haliburton, torture, Social Security privatization, executive signing statements, and massive deficit spending. Now imagine how they would have felt if all of those things happened in the first eight months of the Bush presidency! That's how we on the Right feel about the Obama Administration.
