A new era in politics?
I read this article, With No Jobs, Time for Tea Party . The focus of the article, was pressing for more government benefits while spending all of his time fighting the current government (which, of course, is trying to fix the mess that previous regime left for us). I wonder though is this a new era in politics, where tradition allegiances, such as Republicans and big business or Democrats and unions, will be changing. I think many recognize the problem with big business and unions, but had nowhere to turn to. Of course, since the Tea Party movement is being pushed heavily by Freedom Works, an organization which includes Dick Armey and Bill Bennett, two ex-high ranking Republicans, many of these people might have their understandable outrage directed towards the current Democratic government. I wonder if McCain had won, would the Tea Party include large groups of liberals?
