Unfortunately in the two party system that we have in this country, conservatives represented by the tea party movement will have to co-opt one of the two major political parties if they have any plausible possibility of making necessary changes prior to the point of no return.

I have no problem with the tea partiers co-opting the Republican Party, but I have serious misgivings of the Republican Party co-opting the tea party movement.  In the first place, these retread Republicans do not deserve the support of voters who have consistently cherished the Constitution of the greatest country to ever have existed, and secondly they can be trusted about as far as Sarah Palin can toss Debbie Stabenow.
