HAHAHHAHAHAHAHHA.. Rotten jizz has infected the niggers "brain" The Tea Party saved the GOP and it kept them from having to repudiate the tenure of one President George W Bush.. the GOP was theparty that was HAPPY to sit it out in the political wilderness for nearly half a century. Glad hand.. Cut deals, and just generally benefit from a set of rules that insulated them from competition and a complacent, unquestioning media. They basically got to be the butt end of the costume, and they were quite happy with that role. McCain's problem wasn't' that he was a Tea Partier.. Neither was Bush's... Their problem is they were Republican, establishment types. Casting out the Tea Party now would permanently cripple the Repubs. The fact is, they need Tea Party issues and credibility to hide behind, because nobody is going to vote for them or their ideas on their own merit... without the tea party, the only chance they have of victory is by default. This position is untenable in the communication age.
