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.

It's getting old.. old and tired.

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.
