With the advent of the Tea Party we’re seeing the tax debate being held more and more in the public square. I actually hear people talking about the “death tax” and “tax cut vs tax extension” in coffee shops and YMCAs.
I think it’s great.
However, in almost every single conversation, there is one aspect of the debate that I think gets left out; and it drives me crazy.

We’re in the final stretch. Only 4 more days until we all go back to the polls and vote in the mid-term elections. Often times the mid-terms are seen as a referendum on the party in power.
And this year, the party that has held ALL the power is the Democrats.
That makes them the target.
This year, the big story is the Tea Party. The grass roots movement that either has you fired up or running scared.
Alaska.
Delaware.
Kentucky
Watch it folks; the wave of populism is spreading and it isn’t just taking Liberal Democrats.

I’m not sure I could tell you much about ACORN before the election cycle of 2008. Since then, however, I have come to learn they this organization, however well-intentioned they say they are, has a mission.
Some time ago I began a piece on the Republican Party’s Platform. Sadly, I didn’t finish it but I made it far enough to illustrate my point. And that is there are parts that I disagree with.
Strange thing happened on the way to the party today. I realized that Republicans don’t represent a majority of those who affiliate or support the Tea Party movement. The majority of their supporters are Independents and Democrats.

The test is coming. The energy and excitement that is and has been caused by, the Tea Party movement is gonna be tested in the coming months. It’s one thing for a group of folks to get mad and meet in the park. It’s another thing entirely for that group of people identify a leader, for that leader to be qualified, and move the group from loosely connected to organized force.
