With TV so dependent upon “appearance and sound byte” and politic elections having evolved into TV ads, it is very difficult for the “Citizen Congress” as the Founders wanted it. But it is possible to develop more skill at campaigning and fund raising.
The problem I see with Tea Party per se, is when the fringers and those that saw it as their personal opportunity to lead “something”, began claiming THEY spoke for us Tea Party folks. I supported the grass-roots part, but will not line up behind anyone claiming they speak for Tea Party any more than I will support the GOPe.
