 My question was not based upon the discipline of logic, circular or otherwise.  It was a simple query regarding your non-sequitur.  
Buckman opined that the media portrayed the TEA PARTY movement poorly.  Your response to that was that you thought REPUBLICANS were the party of "self-responsibility."  I don't see the connection.  Perhaps you are a victim of the media's "poor portrayal" of the tea party (or tea baggers as you refer to them--nice portrayal!) in that you equate the tea party with the Republican Party.  So then, I suppose, in your estimation, the portrayal of the tea party also portrays the Republican Party.  That is erroneous.  Tea partiers are against Republican malfeasance as well as Democrat.  But, I expect that sort of biased (centrist?) comment from you. 
My question was, also, not based on that.  I was merely wondering how being responsible for one's own actions can stop someone else from lying about you, or having and stating a biased, slanted, untrue view of you.  The answer is, of course (since you're unable to answer a simple question--I will), YOU CAN'T.
