I know it has been going on much longer than the TEA Party, but was relating your concerns to the modern politics of the age. To state that the Native American Reservation System is the largest failed social system the USA has dealt with or created just makes little sense to me. We have whole populations of other races and creeds that we disenfranchised for centuries and in many cases we created modified social systems for these groups based on poverty, creed, race, religion etc. Many of the large housing projects in our major cities were much larger failures in many ways then the reservation system. The one thing that is quite common be they reservations, housing complexes, segregated schools or internment camps they were all ways to isolate the minorities from the then white majority and form gated communities etc.

Well one could see it your way as well either way they are all failed in my opinion, yet the Indian reservation system was by design a failed system. Again teach people to fish instead of just dumping off fish once a week or month.......... The sovereign nation aspect had its time many,many years ago it doesn't have a lot of value in today's world.........

Sure lots of smoke screens in DC used very well again by both sides. it will be interesting in 2016 how 8 years and what has the country got to show for it? Both sides will have to answer to the voters on that we shall see who uses what style of smokescreen then.......... be sure as the sun rises both will be in full smoke screen mode by then, heck they are working on them now in the fall of 2014

Smoke screens have been here since the recording of time. We have just faster ways to reach more people quicker and there are 60 times as many people in the world now and smoke screens are a good way to keep from having to make hard statements about success or failure. Dem's prefer a more federalist of government based public system because they believe in more societal based programs which include, food, clothing and shelter. The GOP likes big government as well because many of the very large GOP leaning companies make large amounts of money on government contracts. Also there are fewer Conservatives then moderates and liberals so when the minority can win elections they can put more control on the non-conservatives and that is one advantage that a republic has over a true democracy, the minority many times can have more influence then their numbers etc. would suggest that they do. Also a republic form of government allows for wealth to have a larger impact than in a more true democratic government.
