Why don’t Republicans and Tea party activists work together for a common cause? Obviously if we are divided the Democrats will retain the Congress and BHO will be re-elected. We know this will happen as Ross Perot’s independent candidacy helped elect Bill Clinton 1992. The Democrats and the Left are solidly united behind BHO. We must be united too if we have any chance of defeated them. Here in CA I plan on voting for Chuck DeVore in the US Senate primary. But if Carly Fiorina wins the primary, I will just as enthusiastically vote for her over Barbara Boxer any day of the week. We need to get our act together and learn from history. Third parties have only served as protest movements, and siphon off votes from the dominant parties.
And what common cause would that be?
As I understand things, the Tea Party is about less government, while the Republican Party has no problem with more government, so long as it's government that does things they like.
