Teabaggers and Progressives do have at least 1 thing in common.

[Union Yes]

We're both being held hostage by 1 party rule.

1. I'm betting they have more in common than we realize...

Seems most are screaming the same thing, but some are pointing fingers in the wrong direction.

Health insurance companies have the "death panels" for example, but Teabaggers take those arguments and aim them at "Obamacare."

They "protested" against taxes on the very day that 95% of Americans received a tax break... but just ask one of them if they noticed the difference in their pay stub.

2. Exactly.

That's what happens when you start with a deeply rooted point of view. You tend to look for "evidence" that fits, and completely disregard any evidence to the contrary....no matter how factual.

3. The last thing the corporate bipartisans want is populist bipartisanship

The powerful elite have the distinct advantage of being able to work together to keep working people down when it serves both parties' interests, as it often does. The only thing that ever kept them in line in the first place was the fear of the French Revolution pt. deux. Now with tasers, big brother, etc., they have nothing to fear, and can roll back all the progressive accomplishments of the 20th century.
