Dang... What SF said. Exactly how, other than not wanting to remove the 10 Commandments, is he "anti-Constitution"?
I am not aginst big spending as long as its done for specific reasons and honestly.
You mean aside from refudiating the supremacy of the United States Constitution and refudiating the authority of the federal courts?
Do you mean repudiate? And do you have a link to his repudiating the authority of the federal courts? Or was this something to do with the 10 Commandments?

Not just that he didn't want to remove the 10 Commandments. The fact that he had the monument installed in the Alabama Supreme Court lobby in the middle of the night, and refused to allow any other displays. Then defied the court order to remove the monument.
He also stated, in an interview with the Anniston Star (when he was a circuit court judge) that he would not guarantee a fair trial to anyone who was not judeo-christian.
He was quoted as saying “restoration of the moral foundation of law to our people and a return to the knowledge of God in our land.”. He wants a theocracy.

those do not compare to tarp or obama's continual bailouts...nice try, but another nigel butter roll fail....
Do you have a link to that quote about "fair trial" from him? If such is accurate then he needs to be removed from any public life regarding our nation.
Thats not enough?

He essentially tried to turn the Alabama Supreme Court into the Alabama Supreme Christian Court.
Its not just about him not wanting the 10 Commandments removed. It is about the refusal to allow any other religious displays to be presented.
Are you friggin' kidding me?
You might also want to look up energy & transportation bills under Bush before you insert your foot in your mouth again.

I have not been able to find it online, but read the article a number of years ago. It was a big thing at the time in Tuscaloosa AL. I will try and locate the article again. It has to be archived somewhere.
The TEA Party became because people mistrust both of the Major parties to curtail government largesse. Bush certainly helped to create it. The TARP was simply the last of many straws that finally broke the camel's back.
Then why are they so beholden to the Republicans? Why do they only have Republicans speak at the national convention?
Why are they promoted and endorced by Fox news?
Which Democrat will speak about repeal? Which Democrat speaks the words that people like this want to hear? Tell me which Democrat can they even push in the direction they believe that the nation should be traveling? You give me those, I'll be sure to give the names to a few of the organizers so you will feel more comfortable. I know for a fact that Republicans are turned away by these people, one of those people was that Congressman who said that Obama's Administration practiced reverse racism. He was scheduled to speak at an event in CO, but they canceled that immediately after he put his foot in his mouth.
I won't disagree with that entirely, though I think that the TEA party has a more ideological agenda - beyond taxes - that you're glossing over.
It's beside the point here - I'm taking a bit of issue with Yurt's contention that the bulk of spending came at the very end of Bush's admin. That's ridiculous, any way you slice it.
Alternatively, the Tea Partiers are Republicans and once Obama was elected did they suddenly care about debt, deficits or government largess.
