Beware the tea party

Naked Politics reported
Democratic members of the Congressional Black Caucus are in Miami Tuesday to host a jobs fair, part of their five-city tour to draw attention to high unemployment, particularly in the black community. But at a town-hall style meeting the members held Monday night, some of the most heated talk centered not on jobs but on the tea party.
So they don't really care about jobs. They just want to bash the Tea Party.
"The real enemy is the tea party –- let's remember that," said Rep. Frederica Wilson of Miami Gardens, host of the meeting and jobs fair. "The tea party holds Congress hostage…They have one goal in mind, and that's to make President Obama a one-term president."
That alone would make me support the Tea Party, even if I did not understand what they are for.
She got energetic applause from the crowd of hundreds at Mt. Hermon AME Church in Miami Gardens. So did Rep. Maxine Waters of California, who recently said the tea party should "Go straight to hell."
She must want them to try to create jobs in her congressional district.
"I'm in church. I'm not going to repeat that," Waters said Monday. She also said: "We have to stand up and fight. It's fight time...We're not afraid of the tea party…In this struggle, we have to define who we are,
I think we already know who you are.
what the president is doing
I know we know what he is doing, and that is why we want to make him a one-term president.
and not let our voices be overshadowed by the tea party."
There are many voices besides the Tea Party that wants to make him a one-term president.
