Under today’s curcumstances how can a third party get traction? How can an eclectic bunch like the Tea Party set a coherent agenda? Who, besides me of course, can lead a movement like this? How can anything like this get up an rolling by 2016? Plus 1001 other issues to be dealt with. Well, I’ve come up with some brilliant questions. Anybody out there got any brilliant answers?

The Democrat Party used to be the Party of the Klan and lynch law, a white working class party. Then, during the late 1940s and after, something happened. The Republican Party used to be an admixture of White middle class and plutocrats interested in limiting government. Again, a bit later, something happened. So tell us, Ilana, what is this Common Control that has transformed Democrats into corporate Demicans, and Republicans into socialist Republicrats? Whose is the hidden hand?
