    About this ebook

    Today’s raucous revolt against Washington and Wall Street is a classic populist uprising. In Mad as Hell, political pollsters Scott Rasmussen and Doug Schoen discuss how the Tea Party movement is fundamentally remaking our two-party system and what it means for the future of American politics. For political junkies of every stripe—from both the left and the right side of the aisle—Mad as Hell is mandatory reading.

      I would put some effort into this review, but I truly do not feel the book deserves my effort. Therefore, I do not apologize for any errors in grammar or spelling in the following:

      This book is nearly 400 pages of angry polemic that repeats itself endlessly. I found sources taken out of context and errors in citations, in addition to a lack of citations for key claims. This leaves one to question the validity of the book. The book ends acknowledging the problems of the Tea Party, much to its credit: the racism of fringe components, how to maintain movement momentum, lack of a clear way forward (mission and planning), and lack of clear leadership. Yet, the book was written in 2010 and none of these problems have been addressed to my knowledge. This may be why the movement is decreasing in significance. (I consider Eric Cantor's defeat to Tea Partier Dave Brat an anomaly.) The Tea Party's ability to shut down the government without having a forward plan did the movement some serious damage. "Shut down the government but keep our national parks open" was a ridiculous scenario that played out in public and hurt many, many people -- quite possibly more than a few of the movement's supporters. If you're going to organize, then organize...with the good, bad, and grubby work it requires. Otherwise, remain angry but get out of the way.

      Our two party system is killing our country. Whether it's the Tea Party or other group changing the fundamentals of our political system, it can only help us. Excellent analysis.
