Pundits are already predicting that the primary election wins of the Tea Party favorites are bad for the Republican Party. I have been a registered Republican all my life and I say tough! For years the pendulum of power has swept back and forth with the American people being rudely knocked aside and trampled under foot by both parties. Pundits are saying that these new people have no experience. What they are really saying is that they are not career politicians and they have not suffered any corrupting influences yet.
When the lines of battle formed at Lexington and Concord how many professional, career soldiers stood in the American ranks? The ragged ranks were filled with Tea Partiers, merchants, artisans, farmers, hunters, and men from all walks of life. Each and ever one of them had one thing in common, they were all patriots. Each one of them had found the moral courage to offer up their lives for Liberty. May God give us men and women like this again to lead our great nation. Let him fill the halls of congress with people willing to fight and die for liberty. May God Bless America and our sons and daughters of Liberty

Just my 2 cents, fwiw,
When nearly all politicians are bought and paid for by the noneyed interests, the two most rational choices are (i) to abstain from voting completely, and watch as it becomes ever more apparent that the "system" has less and less legitimacy, as more and more people recognize "government" for the criminal syndicate it is, or (ii) adopt the strategy of voting whoever is in power out, rinse, repeat, until they finally catch on that if they want to hold office for more than a single term, they actually have to represent the people.
Once you decide you must vote in a way to assure that your team will win, i.e., that you will vote only for someone who can win, they've got you, they own you, and you're screwed.
Off topic, but your book, The Rhythm of One, is excellent. I hope you produce another.
Well said.
