But, in this case, the Tea Party's primary objection, to the exclusion of all other concerns, is to runaway spending and an ever increasing national debt. I don't see either of those factors going away, getting less publicity, or getting radically better to the point where they are less important. So I think the Tea Party will be around for quite a while - though it may evolve to something else - different name, more PACs and conventions... Ross Perot is an interesting example as he was a significant player in the debate and election - but not enough to get his own electoral college votes. And he started out with the "United We Stand America" group, which eventually became "The Reform Party". Had they NOT become an independent party, and backed one man - their founder Ross Perot - they might still have been around today. A vibrant "Reform" organization would have been the natural place for today's "Tea Partiers" to gravitate to. |
