Well i havent heard of the tea party movement, it sounds like a grass roots type thing, which takes place via non qualified personal. tbh, this type of thing dosent seem like it has a serious solution, because the Republicans and Democrats seem far too dominant to allow that happening. besides the other reason i think this is pretty much impossible is because of this idea of 'globalist elites', i dont understand it that well. but it seems to me that their values have been embedded into the Amercain society over the last 2 - 3 decades, since G.Bush senior was in office. so i think that it will take such radical thinking to change those values, who ever does question them becomes part of a minority?? |
That's the amazing thing that's going on right now. This movement has a lot of power. over 30% of Americans don't hold an allegiance to either party. For more people who call themselves Democrate of Republican, what they really want is no in those parties.
Because of this, a Tea Party candidate can, and will, win. This election we will only see 5-10% of the people from the Tea Party, but that's huge considering where we started.
There does not need to be to many of them to make sure all the bills either party passes are good bills for the people.
Oh, and what qualifications does one need to hold office? Here is an example of a Tea Party Candidate that both the Republicans and Democrats hate.

He beat the GOP candidate, in the primaries. Seems qualified enough for me. Far more qualified then Obama.
