The Tea Party Goes to School
Nick Carey writing at Reuters gives a good overall summary of where the Tea Party is today.
He gives some details on the origins, the rallies, the growing pains, the stumbles, the triumphs, and the future. And the future is where it will get MORE interesting.
American Majority, Beka Romm … “It shows why we must hold them accountable. It’s also why you don’t get to go on vacation on November 3. Because on November 3, you start holding politicians accountable.”
That is not necessarily good news for the Republican Party. The GOP is expected to be the beneficiary of the Tea Party’s assault on the midterm elections. But for all their shared political DNA, the two parties are by no means always or even regularly on the same page. In fact, the Tea Party has in some cases forced the GOP to spend more in primaries and could end up helping Democrats in districts where they field their own independent candidate, splintering the conservative vote. But if Republicans are frustrated, so be it, say many Tea Party members. They add that if the conservative establishment finds them a nuisance now, just wait.
Good read. Exciting times. Work hard to November! and on November 3 … we regroup and begin a new avenue of work … holding them accountable.
