I've been to a lot of conferences, rallies, speeches, campaign events, seminars and conventions since I became active in politics in 2009. Prior to the rise of the Tea Party Movement, I was merely an observer of politics. Frankly, I hated politics, and in many ways I still do. In fact, being more deeply involved now, I've found many new and wondrous ways to hate the process that aren't immediately apparent to the general public.Did I mention that I hate politics?
