[QUOTE="wkmac, post: 1327937, member: 2189"] Ralph Nader [URL='http://www.counterpunch.org/2014/05/16/time-for-a-real-tea-party-in-2016/'][COLOR=#ff0000][B]speaking of the Tea Party and 2016'[/B][/COLOR][/URL] and his comments are rather kind and positive towards those folks. Ironic that the lines of partisanship are not blurring so much in the center but out on the edges and to the disadvantage of both sides in the middle. Both Occupy and the early Tea Party emerged in opposition to corporatism and corporate bailouts and yet were divided by astro turfers from the 2 party narratives than control the political, social and economic conversation. Now that both parties have kicked each to the curb, the real conversation is starting to take place between the 2. Our local tea party has been in [URL='http://www.businessweek.com/news/2013-12-17/georgia-tea-party-takes-on-republicans-over-braves-stadium-taxes'][COLOR=#ff0000][B]vocal opposition to a new baseball stadium[/B][/COLOR][/URL] (and rightly so) thanks to the taxpayer's back footing a lot of the bill. This has not gone unnoticed by traditional old school liberals who've been watching and who oppose corp. welfare among other issues regarding this project. A healthy prospect when the lines begin to blur. [/QUOTE]
