"In their own words: Tea Party activists speak out"
And so the "Tea Party" is a widely varied collection of Americans. It's not a new concept and I agree that we need a great deal of discussion to take place outside of Washington. Kudos to them for that. What concerns me is that a group, of let's say non-partisan thinkers, who want to engage in a dialog about the future of America is really behaving as if they're struggling for power. Why else would they complain about how the media portrays them? If you're not seeking any recognition and just kicking around ideas, then the media portrayal isn't important. It'll be interesting to see if this group begins to gel under a more unified, maybe even homogeneous, political party as we near elections. Maybe when the rubber meets the road this once think tank of an organzation will morph into a political force. Hey,-then they'd become just like Dem and Repubs. Hmmm.
Let's face it the more things change; the more things tend to remain the same.
