So tell me, what is the tea party alternative to the two party system and be specific? How would you run the country? and once again, be specific. Nothing like "We'll lower the deficit!".........How?

So you're the "No Party Faction" Well,....... give us a slice of life in a nation that has a "no party system", and please, be specific.

How are you going to apply the constitution? That's the whole issue. What would life be like when you disolve both parties and run the country according to the constitution?
And be specific. Like which government functions are not constitutional? Whose ox gets gored?

"Constitution" is a big cop out when trying to discribe your policies and what life will be like under the "no party system".

Anyway, this has been covered over and over. Not all debt has to be met. The war may be funded but it should be stopped.
That's a very valid point and I agree.

So, don't stay. Urge the TP to become a third party. We saw how long that Perot movement lasted.

The TP clings to the GOP since it knows it would fade into oblivion without doing so. They need to show some guts, though, and go it alone.

The TP has went after and ended their fair share of career GOP politicians.

Yes, they did lead to Harry Reid's Senate Majority Leader status. Congratulations; how'd that work out for you?

They, like politicians, have no answer to anything. They give you the typical politicians' answers when it comes to policy. "Well, mohawkx, you see it's a lot more complicated than that. But, I promise you......"

Absolutely fine. If someone needs replaced they need replaced. I'm not one that will argue to save the party. If you prefer party over principle you are the one that has to live with yourself.

Let's start with ending the wars, bringing the troops home out of harms way, quit creating an entire new generation of terrorists and use that money for health care here?
