My favorite complaint against the Tea Party is - "Where were you when George W. Bush was president? Why weren't you complaining about spending then?"
For most Tea Party supporters, the answer is easy - we were saying the same thing we're saying now.
The current economic struggles have helped focus the attention, but for many the attention has always been there. There's now more media attention, but our attention has been fixed for some time.
We've hoped the country could grow/work its way out of the coming debacle, but feared it wouldn't.
We don't want to see our fears realized. But we won't be surprised if they are.
