The piece seems prefaced on the presumption that the entire
thrust of the Tea Party was an election. IMO the purpose for the Tea has not— cannot be recognized until those associated with the Tea Party and now in political office have opportunity to leven the whole loaf.Only when the Tea Party’s goal of limited and Constitutional governance is realized can there be a loss of interest in the work begun.
I’m fast coming to the conclusion that the tea party is about as well-understood by outsiders as most religions.
