Tea Party begins to split (1 Viewer)

And that brings up a fundamental point to this discussion, that on the federal level, independents candidates are frozen out of consideration. Had Paul ran as an independent, he HAD to remain a Republican just to be invited (though begrudgingly) to the debates.

The 'beat the party by BEING the party' was the method used.

Well, the system we have will not allow change to occur.

I'd embrace a Nader, Paul, Perot, Kuccinch, Pickens, Forbes, whatever....so long as it offered a path to rob/voice dissent with the 2-party system.

There has always been two tea partys. This is what I want some of these liberals to understand. The original tea party is more the Ron Paul(and even Dennis Kuchinich) backers

Is it weird to be a liberal and had actually been a part of THAT movement?

If the tea party could have done something like this

Rather than prod and stoke fear, xenophobia, classism, and anxiety.....(I can't see Palin,Bachman,Beck,Hannity,etc comprehending or articulating any of that)

If either an R or D candidate could do any of that....


We wouldn't be in the mess we're in now
