Here's an idea! Why don't you go off somewhere and start one? Be sure to let us know how it goes.

John, the OP has decided to join in the discussions without insults. Whatever complaints we have about the Tea Party, it is an inescapable fact that it is part of the current political landscape. Therefore, I believe a TP forum is appropriate on this board. I would like to have a debate about their issues based on the substantive reasons they disagree with the current administration, and for that matter with the GOP.
Regards,
D-Ray

I agree. Personal insults and name calling do nothing to advance the argument from either side. Let your conviction stand on its own.

I assure you, I'm not angry I voted the way I did

What about all those leftie nuts burning Bush in effigy all those years?
The left should be scared of the tea partiers - older folks vote.

No one burned Bush because he was appointed. These dirtbaggers have been trying to collapse my country since the day they lost the VOTE. Protests against Bush did not start until his actions became illegal and immoral. There is no correlation between the two groups.

Oh! I didn't realize he'd had a change in style, if not a change of heart. This must have happened during my enforced absence. I was assuming the guy who likes to challenge people to fist fights over cars was still here. I guess I ought to give him the benefit of the doubt.
Now, for a serious response to the OP's OP.
I think having a dedicated Tea Party Forum isn't any more desirable than having a dedicated Liberal/Democrat or Conservative/Republican forum. These various perspectives can be (and are) expressed quite adequately within the context of the PC Forum as a whole. There's no need, IMO, to "Balkanize" this place any more than it already is.
