Let me say that if Rove thinks he can win with out the Tea Party, he is crazy as hell.
is that insane enough???
wow. “without”
They don’t listen to us. If they aren’t sneering at our ideas they are openly laughing. They control the whole operation.
But when they lose we’re to blame, we are the problem.
The truth is both the GOPe and Tea Party need each other. To me the debate is over who leads and who supports. Thus far the GOPe wants tea party types to suck it up and support them. We are fed up and want to reverse the lead / support roles. A big tent is required for any political party to succeed. The hard core leftists run their “tent”. The Tea Party needs to run our “tent”.
Rove is insane to think the GOPe can do it without the tea party.
Let me help you out, here, Todd. Conservatism may be the GOP's past, but it is definitely not its future.
Currently, the GOP has lurched so far to the left that they are little more than Democrat lites and, increasingly, America is becoming a 1-party country.
There is no "loyal opposition" any longer, there are only cowards and liars in political office whose only goal is their own aggrandizement.
Think of Robert KKK Byrd as their role model!
