“Nice try but no cigar.
There is a lot more to the Tea Party Movement.”
Bingo!
We are the Tea Party. If the current freshmen don’t live up to our expectations, fire them and hire a new batch.
Besides, the tea party candidates weren’t voted in until 2010.
In two or six years the new guys will have increased their estates significantly if they have become properly corrupt and, while desirous of re-election, it isn't worth having to stick to the principles that got them elected in the first place and not gaining in affluence. If they get replaced after a term the new Representatives and Senators will follow the same path.
We have to keep trying but the future is harder and harder to change. It requires massive reform at the top conceived and implemented by those at the tơp whose interests are contrary to that reform or it requires revolution at the bottom which must lead to despotism.
