    They are a Punch-Line for Comics and Late-night TV.
    I doubt even Republicans take them seriously. Moderate Republicans in hard conservative districts have to because they are their competitors; but as the fiscal cliff recedes and Obama starts to balance the budget, they will become totally irrelevant.

    The arose in an era which was exceptional. That era is passing. They will soon have nothing to gripe about let alone a hold on Republican voters.

    Unlike OWS, whose ambition to achieve a fairer distribution of wealth is light years away.

    Statistics show that average Americans have lost a massive share of what wealth they had in the last 4 years while the rich (like Romney) have increased theirs. This battle is still on and will be the one to watch.

    Tea Party?
    Come sit down beside me I said to myself
    And although it doesn't make sense
    I held my own hand as a small sign of trust
    And together I sat on the fence

    I suspect I know more about what's going on in America than you do.

    After all, I get most of my information from that dispassionate observer Russia Today.US.com.

    Actually, I follow Popper, Hayek and others who would argue logical positivism is self-contrdictory.

    You mean it should be called Logical Negativism instead?

    Are you trying to imply that you are a Vienna Successionist?
