But the Tea Party was created for a very specific reason by a small group of very rich men so it's no wonder they're focussed. I agree that the left wing desperately needs to be better organized but the nature of being inclusive means a lot of voices expect an equal hearing. I do think that the cart can sometimes go before the horse - by showing that there is a powerful desire for change in the population it can galvanize more established organizations. It's up to them now to harness this power that's been revealed, the unions joining in is a good first step, it will be interesting to see if any political groups decide to ally themselves.
