What the Tea Party can teach us

OK, one would think that the GOP would not humor the Tea party, after the Tea party was clearly marked as a reason why the GOP lost 2012. Apparently, the tea party gets more attention,as Marco Rubio, the official GOP spokesperson, is a Tea party type, and they also get Rand Paul, a person who is far to the right of Rubio, and who has openly called for repealing the Civil Rights act.

In short,the Tea party is getting with TWO THIRDS of the speeches that evening. Now, we all know the Tea Party is just the means the ultra rich have to keep the GOP in line, but right now, I say we need to focus on the exact tactics.

I will be blunt, we need to make a counter to the Tea Party. It is the only way we can tilt the game leftward. After all, if we get Hillary in 2016, do you really think she is going to listen to Bernie Sanders?

Yes, we do not want to act like them, and yes, some of us like the fact that OWS focused on the conditions, rather than name a laundry list that would be compromised, but we do need ot organize, and form a faction in the democratic party that will make it clear to the Obama/Clinton/DLC types that we are still here.

Now, this is NOTa third party. The GOP knows that the Tea party can be treated as those oddballs (Bad Cop) but still give them the political support, that is what the democrats need to do...The diea is not to be a third party cast off, but to be the relative they dare not fail to invite to the dinners, even though they fart and cuss.
