There are plenty of other parties and just because you fall for the illusion that there are no options doesn't make it true. Stop spreading falsities.

There are no options in America's political system. America will never have three long term viable political parties participating in any given elections.

It might be possible for a regional party to develop that would kick out one of the two major parties in that area, but 3? Nope.

There are always more options.

The teaparty originated in the later half of 2007 and kept the pace till around the first week in November 2008. Afterwards it went down hill extremely fast and most (if not all) of the original folks abandoned the TP and started the Liberty Movement. The original movement was VERY much anti Republican
Sorry, the proggies need the Tea Party to be racist (just like ALL opposition to proggie policies) so reality must be rewritten for political expediency. You were NOT at a Tea Party rally, you were at a Boy George concert. There was cake.

Werepossum needs progressives to fit his delusional caricature of them so reality must be rewritten for political expediency.

Luckily for me the proggies always behave exactly as I expect - including accusations of racism each and every time someone dares to differ with the Messiah. Or the Messiah's party. :D

Only because you are incapable of rationally interpreting reality when it comes to progressives due to your raging case of ODS.

Pretending that the Tea Party is anything other than an extension of the GOP is pretty dumb IMHO. Just look at who their major backers are. The sad thing is that most of their members actually think they are independent and bucking the trend.
