Following characters "brilliant." Yesterday, we held the elections U.S. where, to the low participation and a significant protest vote, has highlighted the presence of certain candidate of a faction (to call in a way) of the already conservative Republican Party if: Tea Party (the party of tea).
For those not familiar with the "Tea Party" owes its name to the anticolonial movement emerged in Boston in 1773, coming to pick up the latent discontent in the American colonies in the UK in relation to certain taxes to be paid (including tea) and rebelled against monopolistic spoiled and the British Society East Indies. In Boston, members of this movement sabotaged the cargo area of \u200b\u200bone of the boats of the company, throwing it all away and wasting of some 10,000 pounds then. This action prompted a reaction from the British authorities, who closed the harbor and declared a state of emergency under the supervision of the British Army. The posterior tension only needed a spark to blow up everything and a clash between demonstrators and soldiers saldaría with 5 dead. future was emerging War of Independence of the United States . The "Tea Party" today has little to do with that movement, more focused on claiming more equal treatment and a politically independent from Great Britain and trade on the East India Company. The new Tea Party has a very varied group of members with certain elements in common: strong moral conservatism, demanding gobieno limiting federal power, absolute market freedom (though the crisis economic worldwide are suffering as a result of the perversion of that freedom) and, of course, the belief that Obama is a communist devil. Well, I forgot: no tax for the poor to "suck" state. So that everyone will shake, and who will die of hunger, bad luck (this comment has come "very European.") Some may think that many political candidates Republicans (and some Democrats) also have this profile. However, the advantage that the "tea party members is that they should not worry about being politically correct. And whatever they say in public, someone will help them spread their message (as the tycoon communication, Ruppert Murdoch, with the help of its network "Fox") and who will follow him because they say they need to hear many people (even if true nonsense).
In a year in which one individual has accumulated many frustrations about the current economic situation and why the disenchantment with politics has become more than obvious, the "tea party", led spiritually by the ex-candidate U.S. vice-presidential, former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin (a woman with "balls"), have gained lots of popularity and have submitted their nominations to Congress and the United States Senate many options chosen out despite his lack of political experience (or management policy) and representations sometimes something sectarian. Already imposed on many Republican primary, which allowed them to go to the houses of parliament with the support of the Republican Party, and are willing to battle to get his seat. And today we have seen where they have arrived. In recent months, had drawn attention to the following candidates:
Carl Paladino ran for governor of New York. It is a real estate developer something macarrilla Obama blaming all their woes and does not hesitate to promise to "take a baseball bat to make things my own way ". All a defender of public morality (although he acknowledged sending e-mails with pornographic content cronies) and family (despite having an illegitimate daughter with a former employee). He handcuff a journalist for "heavy", but not before threatening him with a "see you in the street." has lost 30 points to Democrat Andrew Cuomo . A loss that will breathe a little quieter Yorkers teachers and staff ( those who sought to freeze the salary), users of health care provision (Medicaid, which sought to reduce by 30%), union representatives (which compared with pigs because hamper only), those receiving any social benefits (which required apply a year in advance, leaving his fingerprints and pass a drug test) and, especially, the Iroquois (which required the payment of taxes to help offset the elimination plusváluas tax and higher income levels).
37,000 votes and 18 points have separated the "Tea Party" Rich Iott his Democratic rival, Rep. Marcy Kaptur force. It is possible that fans who had to dress as a Nazi (and participate in performances of the Second World War from the German point of view) did not grace the voters of Ohio. However, has added 80,000 votes.
More media is Fox commentator Christine O'Donnell. Delaware senatorial candidate, has indicated his fiscal conservatism in their proposals. But, yes, it was nothing compared with his insight into the moral and religious grounds. Evangelist and advocate of chastity and abstinence (proposes to punish any act with sexual connotations in the street), their arguments regarding masturbation as "a form of adultery can be disquieting. But if something has been troubling not so much its efforts to impose the teaching of Catholicism in all schools not know that the U.S. Constitution forbids it and show their ignorance in a public debate with his rival for the Senate . In the end, the clone of Sarah Palin (has come to copy his style of dress) was defeated by 50,000 votes.
Although
for "geek" as a list of Tea Party's candidate to lead the Nevada senator, former professor Sharron Angle. Party to dispel the federal education ministry, abandon (USA) UN declared climate change as a scientific fraud, privatize all health, eliminate all regulation in the oil and gas extraction and give absolute freedom to any militia to be armed to the teeth, also bound by law that marriage is only possible between a man and a woman and ban abortion in all cases (including incest and rape) because in both cases, "going against God's Plan ". The best of his performances have been, perhaps, his protest because a football team in Nevada used colors on their uniforms Satanic (dressed in black) or addressing a group of students speaking, say that many of them seemed Asian and then remind them that it was the first Asian legislator Nevada (sic). Maybe it was a sign of wisdom that, despite all its problems, Senator Democrat Harry Reid has kept his seat as a senator and has Angle defeated at the polls by 5% of votes.
osbtante No, not been all bad news for conservatives "tea party". Some have been elected in their respective elections. The highlights are the new senator from Florida, Marco Rubio ("you have to limit federal power because politicians change Washington"), or the new senator Kentacky libertarian, Rand Paul (as opposed to regulating in the Federal State civil rights). However, although they may seem a bit radical, they are still new policy options that have attracted a disconsolate electorate. It is clear that they will not stop conservatives defend their interests. And of course, open a future political scenario for the GOP in a few years, appear (or reappear) new lesser-known candidates who may sell to the public as "moderate conservative candidates" to a greater extent to the general electorate. Candidates who meet the assumptions about liberty and republican values, but which will be shown as "least bad option" (as present at the time of winning elections) to a few Democratic candidates confused and more radical conservative alternative. Basically, take advantage of the displacement of the (theoretical) "Political Center" to the ideological right and will be equally useful to try to "load" the change of Obama. A formidable strategy.
