CB, This morning's news has the Fox channel suggesting the Tea Party break off from the Republicans and form a third party. Sounds like a good idea to me. It would be even better if they seceded from the union and formed their own country. BTW, has Kansas faired any better recently under its Tea Party governor? Perhaps Kansas could become the Tea Party homeland. That would quickly be a death blow to bird hunting there. Enough about partisanship. It's not the real trouble. The real trouble is that it doesn't matter if a party gets a majority. The shots are being called by big money, and big money has no need for government except for it not to levy taxes. That brings us full circle to the Tea Party, a group of ordinary citizens who've been duped into carrying water for the ultra rich and providing the votes for the ultra rich to further strengthen their stranglehold on the country's wealth.
