One of things I do agree with the tea party folks is the mainstream politicians in DC have not been acting in the interest of the people. I think things need to change, no doubt about that. IMO, just about every politician who makes it to DC is either already in the pocket of special interests and lobbyist or will be in short order. I disagree with the tea parties ideology, mainly because I don't think it will make things better. I also don't believe for one second they're a grass roots movement. I believe many of the followers believe they are but they're not. They're funded by Koch brothers billions and people like Dick Army and his PAC. They even have their own TV network promoting them for free.

Things should get interesting in Nov. now, no doubt about that either.

It would be nice to have some real grass roots develop on both sides. But I'm not sure that's even possible in US politics.
