Hey - You're preaching to the choir. I wish the Tea Party folks were a large enough group to actually put a candidate up for President in 2012. Unfortuately, I don't think they will be able to muster that up in a meaningful way BUT you gotta know that every politician that has any hope and asperation for success is going to wine and dine this group. If the Tea Party clan doesn't ever do any more than get people taking a closer look at our government I will consider them to be successful. It's time for everybody to get off their half-moons and become politically knowledgable and active. It also wouldn't hurt to vote out all of the incumbents and start over with new Congressional blood.
I think we will be a major force in the choozing of those candidates, & as a tea party member I don't care whether they are democrat, republican, or independant as long as they adhere to the tea party platform. I think the majority of us feel that way.
I think the influence is going to be local, regional and state for the next few cycles. I'm looking at perhaps a couple running on Tea Party, more Republicans and Independents, perhaps a few Democrats that share the principles.
So, other than their appeal to greed, what is the agenda of the Tea Party movement? In my opinion, you've got an ad hoc group of one issue morons motivated by avarice, bigotry, hate and fear.
