“The tea party movement must realize effectiveness comes less from rallies and more from getting fiscal conservatives into office”
I’m all for seeing more independents in office — especially those who are suspicious of tax hikes and ObamaCare. But I wonder if Shikha Dalmia is closer to the truth of what the Tea Party could be when she writes in Forbes that mass civil disobedience against the insurance mandate come December would work — if the Tea Party becomes the “I won’t be forced to buy healthcare” movement it stays true to its mass movement, loosely affiliated form but could have a real impact on the viability of the bill. In the UK, it was the poll tax riots, not getting new politicians into office that forced the government to cave in.
