Democrats And Republicans: Tea Party

Absolutism Dept: Tea Partiers, said their organizers, were aligned with no party and comprised secular and religious voters, as well as Democrats and Republicans. The only requisite for membership, said Tea Party leaders, was love of country and common sense, according to CBC. Tea Partiers vote overwhelmingly Republican and they have set out to transform the GOP into a far-right, Christian-tinged party, advocating an absolutism that is actually as far from American mainstream as socialism, the philosophy they abjure above all and for awhile, after it roared into existence two years ago, the Tea Party tried to portray itself as a movement of rugged American individualists. Well, that pretense has pretty much evaporated, especially now that the White House is in play again. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
