Could the tea party split the republican party?

No, the Tea Party was started mainly by independents and later joined by Democrats and Republicans that felt disenfranchised by their parties. Despite the claims from the Democrats and some Republicans, the movement closely follows the demographics of the country. The movement is in response to corruption, excessive waste and taxation and a lack of proper representation by those elected in both parties.

In both parties there are die hards that will not accept any change but they are mostly centrists (RINOs) that like the status quot. Some fear that the movement will split the vote and allow the Democrats to win again. Some are just listening to the leadership, who by the way wants no changes made.

In Delaware, a RINO is in the fight of his life to beat a Tea Party pick in the primaries. The national GOP has backed the RINO against the TP's pick. Corruption in both parties will not go easily or quietly.

They have the power and do not wish to give it up.

You have the answer. Many people think the tea party is just another term for "GOP." This makes the GOP mad, because by introducing a more conservative party, many conservative individuals split between the republican party and the tea party.

So if you had 50% democrats and 50% republicans before, imagine now having 50% democrats, 25% republicans, and 25% tea partiers. Since the conservatives split, the democrats now have a majority, and are more powerful. Hopefully this makes sense.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
