Look at the Tea Party -- whether you agree with their principles or not, you should be thrilled that a group of people had the ability (and the freedom) to come together to define a set of ideologies and promote those ideologies on a national platform.One day, the Tea Party, the Green Party, the Libertarians, the Constitutionalists or some other group of like-minded folks will grow enough of a following to rival and perhaps take control from the two major parties in this country.We should embrace and encourage that, not try to quash it by saying things like, "You're throwing your vote away."
