More Elections Predictions

For the first time in modern history the elections will be influenced by a third party is that is not a party at all, yet it goes by the name of "Tea Party." This is a little weird but is good for our country. This may be the only true conservative voice in America that has any legitimacy. Democrats don't like them and are ascribing some pretty ugly labels to them. And a lot of Republicans are patronizing them. Yet, there are a lot of Republicans and Independents that like what they stand for and have actually joined ranks with them.

This Party that is no party at all has more influence on elections this year than either the Republican or Democratic Parties. The Democrats influence lies in their failed policies, their disregard for the desires of Americans, their extreme liberalism (left wing), and their daily alienation of voting Americans. They had the once in a century opportunity to do something as they controlled the presidency and both houses. But their main successes were bail outs (which voters didn't want), a health care bill (which voters didn't want) and a national debt that is three times higher than the last three administrations combined (also, which voters didn't want). And the list could go much further on the things that the "voters don't want."

Many Republicans are turning more conservative and are therefore garnering the benefit of the Tea Party. Other Republicans are treating the Tea Party with contempt.

Here is my prediction: Many of the Tea Party supported candidates will be elected this year. This will totally reshape politics within the Republican Party. Those Republicans who go to Washington and score well with the Tea Party over the next couple of years will be returned to Washington in the 2012 general election. Those Republicans who take a liberal or moderate stand in Washington will not win their next election bid..... therefore giving the house back to the Democrats.

The upshot of this is that the Republican Party at the next General election will be weakened. The consequences will be that there will be more liberal Democrats in the house and more liberal legislation will be passed. The only thing that will prevent this from happening is of there are enough Democrats and Republicans that become scared to death of the Tea Party movement and become more conservative in their stance. This, in effect, would be politics working as it should in America.
