It would be nice to see the Dems becoming a party full of OWS, and the GOP becoming a party full of Tea Partiers/Ron Paulians (legitimately... not the Rubios of the world).

The TP/Paulian takeover of the GOP is real and happening. The question is whether it will continue past this November... if it does, the GOP will be in completely different shape by 2016.

For the Dems, it's still up in the air as to whether it takes off. This is partly because the OWS movement is newer, it's partly because the TP/Paulians are more organized (which comes with being around for longer), partly because there hasn't been a major primary season for the Dems. Most importantly, though, there hasn't been a "leader" that has emerged like Ron Paul


I don't know if I'd want a party that thinks because one group bribes the government that we need to give the government more power to control said groups fate.

Common sense simply tells us that means the bribes would only get bigger.
