Well, he got this part right...

There is also the decline of alternative forces in politics.
We can lay that on what is erroneously called the Main Stream Media of which apparently Dionne is a part since he determines the Tea Party as a scam. As that MSM has failed miserably the American public in NOT reporting all sides of political issues, Americans are left to take his word for his claim of scam. This would leave Dionne as a schill for the progressives, the decline of politics in the U.S.

I doubt it. The Tea Party is equally critical of Dems and Repubs. Refreshing to see people who want government to be by the people, for the people. It is long past due.

RealClearPolitics - The Tea Party Movement is a Scam
"...Yes, there is a lot of discontent in America. But that discontent is better represented by the moderate voters who expressed quiet disillusionment to President Obama at the CNBC town hall meeting on Monday than by tea party ideologues who proclaim the unconstitutionality of the New Deal and everything since...."

I find it funny that some people can't understand that many Americans are tired of politics as usual. November will be very telling. I can hardly wait.

RealClearPolitics - The Tea Party Movement is a Scam
"...The tea party drowns out such voices because it has money -- some of it from un-populist corporate sources, as Jane Mayer documented last month in The New Yorker -- and has used modest numbers strategically in small states to magnify its impact...."

So it's a scam because they strongly disagree with everything this president has done? ..um.. well, they're right there with the majority of the country. You can't call it a scam just because you disagree with it.
