DUARTE: As a Tea Party Supporter I have attended a half dozen of their events. I share their same basic principles, conservative principles over liberal spending, with basic party indifference. Like the Tea Party principles, conservatism of lower taxes, smaller government, strong national defense, and respect for the strength of the family as the core for individual citizens.

My opinions comes from some solid experience, having worked on the candidacy of a lifelong Democrat in Maine who converted to an Independent because of political deadlock. In the old days publications like the Manchester (New Hampshire) Union Leader would take a position on candidates out of the gate, not after the field cleared. Picking solid “candidates” was the criterion, not picking “likely winners”. With this statement Duarte is doing the same -- standing on principles, not political strategy.

Sharron Angle holds steady with her proven conservative principles. Dirty politics in Nevada continues as its leader. Angle has recently announced she is running for Congressional District-2, Dean Heller's seat as he is shooting for Ensign's Senate seat. For many years political races have been decided by massive contributions, not on solid principles. In order to equalize these factors voters must educate themselves about a candidate's political principles, integrity and discount their “purchased footprint,” Voters know that TV ads and TRUTH are not one in the same, as with TRUTH and politics.

The entire sentiment of politics is changing nationally; there is an upcoming revolution by the voters in every party that the experts don’t see coming. For every person at the Tea Parties who yelled “throw them all out”, hundreds more stay-at-home moms and hard working business people (from all parties) are having the same thoughts. The conservative values of citizens are coming to the forefront over party lines, and “grassroots people” will become the new party to reckon with. There are no organized political "third parties" splintered Independents, etc. BUT . . . see my post on TEA PARTY'S!
