It is pretty rare for me to mention politics IRL let alone on this blog. The recent comments by the GOP, however, are simply crying out for a response. Oddly enough, only a few days again, the GOP was crowing over the opportunity to retake control of the senate - largely due to Tea Party upsets. Some within the GOP apparently thought that the Tea Party victories were some sort of mandate and endorsement of the Republican party.
They just don't get it. Much of America - the heart and soul of this country, the middle class, conservative majority - are fed up with politics and politicians. The fact that many of the Tea Party candidates are labeled as Republicans is incidental to the movement. Once we gain enough support, I am quite sure that the Tea Party will split entirely from the GOP. When we do, it will shatter the current political landscape. I am sure that the result will be a divided 3-party system that will - in the short term - see the Democrats on top. They will rejoice, throw parties and declare loudly that they have the "mandate." 2-3 elections later when the defectors from both the original parties flock to the Tea Party is when you will finally start to see some real politcal reform.
