re: #49 Dark_Falcon

The Tea Party has run into the "need to compromise" aspects of government. This is the time when some parts of a protest movement enter the halls of power and start to actually be required to get things done. Some such office holders are able to understand the need to do at least some of those things that need doing legislatively. But compromise always alienates some posers, purists and professional opposers, so the movement will lose a good bit of its 'heat' in that transition.

Heh. You are right of course. What struck me is is if you substitute Occupy for Tea Party and your comment stands just as well. Strange days.
