Reply #109: What scares the hell out of Republicans

[howaboutme]

is when many populists in the real Tea Party come to the realization that corporatism is not conservatism.

To quote Howard Dean about the (3) Tea Parties : http://www.csmonitor.com/USA/Politics/monitor_breakfast...

“There is the racist fringe…. There is the Dick Armey corporate tea party, which doesn’t have anything much more to do with the real tea party than the racist fringe. And then there is the real tea party … which is the vast majority – which are pretty socially conservative even though they try to mask that,” Dean said.

Dean described the bulk of the tea party members as “populists. They are not going to support free trade. They don’t mind taxing millionaires. And they really do want to balance the budget.”

Comment: When real Progressives and the Tea Party come to the conclusion that there are grounds for collaboration on the most important issues, such as on free trade, taxes on rich, perpetual war, Patriot Act, and US imperialism. That is when the privileged and wealthy elites who both benefit and control the system and both Parties will truly become worried, and they will use every tactic in their book of dirty tricks to try and prevent it. At the crux of every problem in the USA, from education to Social Security, stems from policies that take good paying jobs from Americans and give wealth to a few. End those immoral policies and we can change the USA.
