Some sort of co-option going on? What else is new.

Getting way off topic, I wonder if the “hippies” might have got infiltrated too, back in the day. The whole “back to the land” and growing gardens and all that, what’s not to like, really? The anti-corporation deal, I don’t want to throw bricks at anybody, but I do like my mom and pop shops.

Back to the Tea Party thing, both parties must not like these developments, but I can’t help but think they have a plan “B” or “C” for the inevitable. Either marginalize or co-opt it seems to be the result. With some exceptions, it would seem best for the electorate to un-elect most of the politicians come November.

And the problem is again, a false-choice dilemma. There is no provision for “none of the above” in the primaries or anywhere else. So at some level, the machine doesn’t care what candidate wins nor what party, &c &c. THAT’s the problem.
