"Tea Party was...to restore the lost heritage of America that had been eroded, undermined or just plain sold out by professional politicians." So if you are not going to have "professional politicians" running the show who are you going to have? The amateurs?! If you are going to unseat the a "professional" anything, you'd better be more proficient than them or change the game altogether. Neither of which happened by the Tea Party...and why was that if not for detours that it took from its original rallying cry? There is a lot that can be shoved under the banner of "lost heritage of America." Slavery and bigotry can also be placed there. But I take it that is not what he wanted to convey. Nonetheless, you win by keeping one core value with mass appeal rather than providing distraction through a wide banner. This was Tea Party's tactical mistake. And it is what they still don't get...perhaps now by design :-(
