Who's gonna pay her to shut the hell up then?
I like the idea of the tea party movement. It sends the right message to both parties. It's sort of a dissension of the GOP but also attracts independents.
I read today that they paid speaker for this weekend is Sarah Palin.
I have lost 99.9% of my interest in the TPM.

I am simply interested in watching political movements that are not the standard two party system succeed.
If this movement can be successful then maybe people will believe that their movement could be to and we can see a shift in power from the old and busted to something that represents the people.
Short of radical "D: None Of The Above" options, fixing the two-party systems as it is may be the only choice. I really don't think the tea baggers are an option, and I don't even think they're symbolically useful. I say that without knocking the idiots with the signs on TV, but attempting to take the serious tea baggers at their best.
Nader has suggested that there be a None of the Above on the ballot and if none of the above wins, new candidates are nominated and a new election is held.
I don't think it would really produce better results but it would have been hysterical to watch bush/kerry in 08. None of the above would have gotten like 107% of the vote.
What's wrong with a party made up of people with wildly divergent beliefs?
I am pretty sure that the Democratic and Republican parties have people that compromise their beliefs in order to get the main things they want.
I am not saying that the "Tea Party" is the answer at all, but to overcome the two-party system it is going to take people that think for themselves.
sarah palin! what a joke. politics are a joke. just go read your history books if you want to see what happens to world powers when they stray off course. which is of course, what this country is doing.
Part of that is because they aren't taken seriously at a national level but that could change, and then they could get the backing, be invited to the debates, and attract more polished candidates. Then the problem would be how to keep them from being just like what we have now. There will always be some show business involved, but at least it would change the mentality of the voters and make it possible for change to occur.
I agree.
Tea Party Movement: Don't let Sarah Palin take control.
the only thing Sarah Palin has going for her is that MR is a fan of hers
