The Tea Party: Alienating American Voters

Written by: Allen Harris

Interesting country we have here, slightly more than half the people are generally pleased with almost everything and slightly less than half are continuously appalled by nearly everything. 

But the clear trend is toward the current majority and that majority, a growing majority is displeased with all things conservative. The polls are indicative, but the trends are crystal clear. The hard core Tea Party members took a serious hit this election and the ultra right conservatives did as well. 

None of those people predicted what actually happened and that was because they were believing their own propaganda, so now they are fighting a losing rear guard action that even they know they are going to lose. Alienating the majority of American voters is not conducive to anyone's agenda and that is what is currently happening. 

My advice to the American people is simple; work it out among yourselves and if congress does not agree with you, vote them the hell out of office. That is what I believe will happen too. New groups and new coalitions are forming as we speak and none of them are particularly conservative. 

Perhaps we should take a page out of the Iceland book of political extremism.
