      MBD is right to question the premise of Chris's question; "Tea Party" was always kind of a phony guise for old Movement Con forces. #uppers

      .@mtracey I thought it started with real right-libertarian Paulite Repubs, morphed into party-line.

      @vastleft Only in the very, very beginning was it a right-libertarian Paulite thing.

      @mtracey That's largely how I see it, though it did keep strains more libertarian than most of GOP for a while.

      @vastleft Only in rhetoric, and because they consciously downplayed foreign policy & "social" issues.

      @mtracey In any case, right-libertarians have long given air cover to actual GOP agenda.

      @mtracey Even him. Same as how a Dennis Kucinich makes Dems appear to have a meaningful lefty component.

      @vastleft But they are insurrectionists within their own parties, and use the platform to bring attention to crucial issues. Particularly RP

      .@mtracey IMHO, that's far, far outweighed by their ability (intentional or otherwise) to launder the party's routine practices.

      @vastleft I don't think that being a member of the GOP or Dem parties *necessarily* means one launders their party's routine practices.

          @mtracey In practice, though, having essentially token players who have halos for audience rest of party underserves has that effect.

          @vastleft Not in the case of Paul & Kucinich tho, who build grassroots coalitions external to existing two-party apparatuses. Feingold too.
