The author has it wrong.

The republican party has always been the republican party.

The teaparty is too weak to stand on its own and tried to hijack the republican party by winning a few selected primaries.

So now that teaparty failed, they are all mad. Well boo hoo, the republicans were here first.

Get real. If it wasn’t for the Tea Party, the Republican Party would have already gone by the way of the Whigs. Who do you think gave the Republicans the House majority in 2010? It damn sure wasn’t Karl Rove.

So you think political losses will stop the millions of conservatives that identify as Tea-Party members will now just roll over and submit to the treachery, Democrat-Collaborating and Corporate Cronyism of the GOP-E?

How do you explain the massive wins by Tea-Party candidates at the state-level?

You do realize that the tea-party is destroying the GOP-E by doing this right?
