A key point Eleua is that the central thesis of the Tea Party, indeed its genesis, is the fraud on Wall Street and the Beltway, and the bailouts. Those things have a UNIVERSAL attraction. Neither the left nor the right has ANY historic antipathy to the looting now going on, and have demonstrably forwarded the banksterization of politics.
If ANY third-party has ANY prayer of altering the current reality, they'd better stick to their knitting on what drives them. There'll be plenty of time to address nonsense issues when the REAL muscle-work required is done.
Go ahead and support whichever GOP-type will mouth your social agenda mantras, thereby extending the divide-and-conquer plan the two-party system was constructed to create.
