What the article fails to point out, is that the Tea Party wants to change the Constitution though legal, grass roots means, whereas the Democrats just want to "reinterpret it."
The fact that the author called the country a "democracy" tells me all I need to know........ |

If anything kills the Tea Party,it'll be a combination of stagnation,the typically short attention span and what I think will be the end,failing to hold the GOP's feet to the fire IRT spending.
If it decides to start focusing on social issues because it's too difficult to expect much from the House,I reckon it's over. |

The author is right, those would be some pretty big steps toward killing our having and moving yet further toward a coast-to-coast democracy.
The difference is, where he looks at that in horror, I see it as an advertisement. Democracy always dies a violent death, often after a plurality of citizens drain the national coffers by voting themselves money. A representative Republic governing a federation of distinct, individual states is for me. |

That article's incredibly intellectually dishonest. Very misleading, and that sort of misleading writing for propaganda purposes ticks me off more than just about anything.

And unemplyment benefits stimulate the economy, and uncloseted gays in the military will not need separate facilities, and.....can we take a break and sing 'Kumbaya?"
Complete BS. |

Support for repealing the 17th Amendment among tea partiers certainly is baffling. For a group of people who decries establishment republicans and RINOs, you would think they would support the 17th.

I don't see anyone refuting his talking points, just calling him names.

Socialist love for wealth redistribution may kill it.

Quoted:
I don't see anyone refuting his talking points, just calling him names. I'll play. From http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2010-12-16/tea-party-love-of-constitution-may-kill-it-commentary-by-michael-waldman.html: Now Senators John Kyl and Lindsey Graham have suggested rewriting this core part of the national charter. Children born here are not in fact citizens, they argue, if their parents crossed the U.S. border illegally.
So the crux of the argument is that it's wrong to keep people from benefitting from something done illegally, even if the illegal thing is done by someone else (in the above example, the person doing the illegal thing is one's parent). Therefore, according to that belief system, if my dad steals a million bucks, then gives it to me, it's my right to keep the stolen money. How very progressive.
