all we have to do is watch where the PAC money goes.

and what makes you think that's about to happen? -- nm - znufrii Oct 18, 06:07
Either way though, I don't see the Tea Party breaking off. - ty97 Oct 18, 05:41 11
- it happened in Canada, the far right became the Reform Party and the PC's died off; then they remerged and have ruled for years now -- nm - Beaker Oct 18, 05:45 8
  - (although our far right is more like your middle to leftside right) -- nm - Beaker Oct 18, 05:46 7
    - Haven't you always had more than two viable parties? We...don't know how to do that. - ty97 Oct 18, 05:49 6
      - it's not that we wdon't know how to have more than two major parties, it's that our voting system is designed in a way that specifically prevents it -- (link) - znufrii Oct 18, 07:08 [youtube]
      - I really think if they broke off, votes would be split to a degree that winning would be impossible. they can't get along but they can't not live toge - all the boys love mandy lane Oct 18, 06:55
      - Although the Tea Party is almost perfectly situated to become a right wing NDP or BQ - Reagen Oct 18, 06:13 3
        
        I think your last few words are wrong though. They don't want to cause trouble, they want control. - ty97 Oct 18, 06:15 2
        
        I think they will shortly realize that's not possible, and a good runner up prize is messing up everyone else's shit. -- nm - Reagen Oct 18, 06:17 1
        
        I would have thought they'd hit that point a year ago but they quadrupled down so I don't know. -- nm - ty97 Oct 18, 06:31
- But the funding question will be one of the more interesting things to watch in 2014. - ty97 Oct 18, 05:42 1
  - There are a couple of places where chambers of commerce are supporting non-Tea Party candidates. I wonder if we might see that as a trend. - Kim Pine Oct 18, 05:49
