Tea Party and Unions
The Outlines of the 2012 Conflict Are Becoming Plain. The Gloves Will Be Off. The Tea Party is an Amorphous Collection of Billionaire Supporters, Old Time Operators and Grass Roots Folk Whose Mantras Are Well Known. Unions Are Recovering Some Life
On this side is the Tea Party well moneyed and deluded
On this side are the remnants of old labor
It's people versus money and the stakes are who gets what
Few seem to hear a voice saying love your neighbor

Anger propelled 2010
Sanity is returning and the behavior of the GOP is having the expected effect of cooling off the electorate
No one has risen with a remote chance of beating the President

At the moment labor seems to be on the ascendant
