| Rath said: The thing is the tea party is even more conservative, especially fiscally, than the Republicans. I don't see how thats going to woo the independents, the people voting for the tea party will mostly be Republicans. It's not going to be a massive shift in American politics as far as I can see, perhaps a fairly large change in the republican party however. |
I think it will.
In the last 20 years or so of politics, most people really vote for who they hate the least. There has been no one who has been someone people could really get behind.
The nice thing about the Tea Party, is that's the only reason a candidate from that party is elected. They are, for the first time in a long time, someone people want in office. Not just the guy they don't want the least.
As for the reference to Republicans being conservative... there is nothing conservative about that party. Yea, Obama has spent more then every other administration before it combined, but before Obama, Bush did the same thing.
All both parties know how to do, is set policy that bankrupts the country.
