The so-called "tea-baggers" are largely libertarian. They want Big Gov't off their backs and out of their business. They don't want a nanny-state telling them they can't have MJ because it's bad for them, or even bad for society. They want LIBERTY, as in "Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness.
If you continue the 2-party system thinking, we will never get our Liberty. BOTH parties are full of corrupt career politicians. If the elections from the last 2 years haven't clearly demonstrated that THE PEOPLE are sick of politics as usual and the incestuous relationship b/w Gov't and Big Business, then you haven't been paying attention.
The tea-baggers are not pro liberty, at least I don't think they are even untied enough to have an actual agenda, so surely some are liberty oriented but by no means are they the possibility of being a valid third party, that supports liberty. If you like MMJ maybe you should think about how much has changed from this administration to the last one, which I must remind you that the majority of tea baggers had their president in office for eight years, and if you look back at the Bush era with any sort of happiness than I am sorry for you.
Yeah I understand people have frustrations,about big government, but letting health care corporations run crazy and calling that liberty by not allowing the government to regulate is insanity, not liberty. I also I understand that these people, the tea baggers have been getting much more coverage from media, more than just fox, msnbc primarily, and this has gone on to create an idea that an actual movement exists, it doesn't. And a movement of people against the system is not just libertarian ( just look at A People's History of the United States by Howard Zinn for further references), nor is the libertarian party a valid third party anyway, people like Ron Paul who essentially argue that we need government out of our lives along with corporations, yet the absence of government leads to corrupt corporate greed. How are the tea baggers against corporate greed, by stopping every gov. regulation that would essentially control them? . These corporations that propped up these fringe groups are against the people, and the tea baggers are nothing but a pawn, constructed in part to bring about the appearance of a need for government reform from the big bad democrats, and evil Obama....lol!
I am in no way an advocate of the two party system, but that has nothing to do with the tea baggers because they are just essentially the radical faction of the republican party and will never part from the party with any sort of legitimacy.
Finally, the "Tea Party" will not put Palin out as a candidate, because they are not putting any candidate out, they are not a valid party, only a faction of the republican party, one that champions the victory of Scott Brown in Mass, ones that assume global health-care is a mere hoax, these people are extremely ignorant and have almost ruined the country once, don't be fooled, Bush ran on the very libertarian ideas in 2000 and look what happened. Our country suffers from severe memory loss!
