Is the pendulum starting to swing toward
a different paradigm in politics?

Low turn outs at teabagger demos.

I've been waiting.

1. How much of a swing is it between Business Party 1 and Business Party 2? Answer, not much.

2. The TeaPotty has peaked.
Their influence is waning as is evident by the GOP's willingness to compromise on the 2011 budget. I suspect we will see more compromise on the debt ceiling and the 2012 budget. TP activism/extremism, which helped them in the elections last year is now becoming a liability.

3. The people have been organizing.
Wisconsin and Ohio were the last straws for the people. If it is to continue, its still up to the people as national party Democrats haven't picked up the cue yet.

4. I won't declare the ball lickers peaked until the next election...
national elections bring out a lot of the stupid in this nation.

I am calling it a lull for the moment.

Never ever under estimate the awesome power of ignorance and stupidity. You do so at your own peril.
