South Carolina Tea Party Merges With GOP

I must say that I am not someone who thinks all Tea Partiers are crazy wingnuts. I share some of the frustrations the group has articulated — too much corporate power being the most significant. On the other hand, there is much that concerns me very deeply about the movement, yet I can’t help but respect citizens coming together to try to change the world — be they anti-war demonstrators or Tea Partiers or PETA people.
But part of the curiosity of watching this phenomenon left me today when I read that the South Carolina Tea Party has officially merged with the GOP. It’s a logical marriage I guess, given that the Republican party has moved so far to the right, but if the Tea Party as a whole is absorbed into the GOP, for all intents and purposes, the “people power” part of it will disappear and I think that’s too bad.
