This post was originally a lengthy rant about the state of the two major political parties. Suffice it to say that I’m not very happy with either one of them.
I completely understand the dissatisfaction with things as they are that’s behind the Tea Party movement. I think it’s very closely related, the twin in fact, of the dissatisfaction that propelled Barack Obama to the presidency.
I’m concerned about the pragmatics. I don’t think you can get there from here.
