The Tea Party is made up of regular people , now, the GOP has a lot of influence in it and I don't care for that however in a two party system, are people who are screaming for less government going to attend a Tea Party or go to a Nancy Pelosi reelection rally, there simply isn't many choices with our draconian election laws keeping third parties in the minority.
I personally think the Tea Party AND the GOP is trying to find itself and the GOP is trying to realign ;with so many various factions, it has basically two choices, to continue with it's neo/social "conservative" agenda of the past 20-30 years or go to the libertarian/paleo conservative Taft/Goldwater past that seems to have the groundswell of support of the younger voters. I am hoping that the latter gains control.

Me too , it will be the best thing for the country and also the democratic party.

So, no matter what they do, it'll "be the best thing for the country and also the democratic party"? Now , if that isn't a partisan sentence, I have not seen one in my close to 50 years of living.
The tea partiers are just a new version of the old Pat Buchanan insurgency back in the 90's.

If it was that, there would be more people like me and less like Teapartysamuri supporting them and I stopped supporting them when those types took over.

Let me type this slowly so you can understand.
When you narrow your party you narrow your voting base.

There's no way to maintain the Reagan coallition over time, without a charismatic leader. You're right, that's essentially the rift. Neocons v social conservatives v fiscal conservative v corporatists provides so little common ground that any real compromise is near impossible.

So who do you support?
If your choice was a democratic party member or a republican party member who would you vote for?
So you suggest there should always be a perfect choice for YOU?
