“A similar effort will be required today of conservative political and intellectual leaders,” former Bush speechwriter Michael Gerson wrote in his column in The Washington Post. “It will not be easy.

I tend to think of it this way: the continuum we face isn't left/right, it is liberty/security. Both major parties, in their partial ways, are guarantors of security. If a third party or independent movement comes from the Tea Partiers (or, in the unlikely event the GOP changes), it will become more rooted in the idea that individuals should make choices on their own.
