It's all over the board over here. I fear we are Balkanizing. We just cant get down to the common sense issues like economy, life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. We get wrapped up in the telling other people what to do issues. The tea party wants to get all of the old guard out which is a noble goal but the special interest groups are already trying to infiltrate it's ranks. Until lobbyist and money men are barred from access to politicians you can be assured that nothing will changes in American politics. Unfortunately the only ones that can bar that access are the politicians themselves, so don't expect that to change until we have a revolution or Balkanize and when I say revolution I mean the kind with guns and guerrillas. That won't happen until people are starving so I don't see much changing in the US for a while. Anyway, I think the Tea Party started off with all good intentions and then they became a political machine.
unfortunately I completely agree with you here ... allowing Sarah Palin to become the face of the tea party (at least in my opinion) was the beginning of the end of it being a noble movement. They have turned into a group of strictly far right wing activists and lobbyists who care more about political agenda's than the state of our union.
We need serious term limit and campaign donation reform to be able to bring this country back to any visions of grandeur and unfortuantely without someone with Bill Gates or Warren Buffet money running the type of people who can bring that type of change would never be elected.
Our country is stuck in a two party system in which a third party is either absorbed by one of the political machines or left to rot all on its own.
