TV, The Tea Party And The Coffee Party.

It looks to me like the Republican party is in a pickle. It's a fickle pickle. There have been a number of Tea party favorites that beat out Republican party favorites in the primary elections. These Tea party winners are particularly conservative. They are far far right in their thinking. Too far for the Republican party's taste. The problem for the Republican party is whether or not to support them. In fact, I'll bet there are some where the Republican party would rather support the Democrat candidate. Maybe all of them. Problem is, if they did that, they'd lose any chance of winning a majority. They'd also lose a whole lot of their members. In fact they could wind up causing a third party to form. On the other hand, if they back the Tea party candidates, they'll begin to lose control of their own party. This is fun, isn't it? Now if we could only start something like this in the Democrat party. Maybe a Coffee party. I've said before, we need to get rid of the two party system. A five party system would be great. Who's the fifth party? The Independent party of course. Just one problem with this idea. Can you imagine the political ads from five parties and that many candidates? We'd definitely have to have new campaign reform on advertising. On the other hand, there'd be so many ads, there'd be no time for programming. With the caliber of programming being what it is, that too would be good.
