(12,448 posts)But I did write that they both work for the same people and share the same objectives. That is also the point of the teaparty distraction. By creating this corporate financed tool from the real anger and disappointment of a minority, they effectively distract people from the goals that the powerful, regardless of party distinction, are working toward. Don't be fooled into believing that it will ever be allowed any real power to change anything from what their puppet masters want.
To use a current issue here as an example... looking at the replies and number of recommendations of an overwhelming majority of members on this site, it is clear that we know that the "fiscal cliff" is BS, that more cuts to beneficial programs are not necessary, that what problems do exist can be addressed with significant cuts to the trough of graft that the powerful feed at, and that we will not stand for stealing yet more from the least of us. But here we are, hearing administration and party spokespeople repeating the same lies over and over as justification for doing just that.
