Why is Tea Party successful influencing GOP while Occupy movement failed to influence Democrats? They almost share platforms. I think this is because the original TP withered and what left is now an astroturfing mechanism used by a few tycoons. Viewed through this lens, current GOP turmoil is one group of oligarch trying to push out another group of establishment cronies so they can get into the trough. No good guys to be found anywhere.
