The Tea Party already has shown they can be a force to be reckoned with. It’s a good start!
The power of the Tea Party is that it is a movement and not a political party. A movement is like the ocean, a political party is like the ship. The ocean (the people) move the ship which is the political party. We need movements outside of the two political parties because they are both corrupt and have been corrupt for a long time, we just didn’t know it. We were gullible rubes who hung on to the every word of the snake oil salesmen called politicians.
