What sticks in my mind is nominee Brat’s comments I heard on TV today. He said (paraphrasing) that Tea party goals and GOPe goals are not far apart. Both are for free market capitalism, which is actually more humane than socialism.
What needs to happen is the GOP needs to be for American free market capitalism.
American.
That is the word, which is not emphasised nearly enough.
From what I’ve heard him say, it sounds like he is making the point many have made. The only difference between the Tea Party and the GOP is that the Tea Party actually follows the stated Republican Party platform. The GOP doesn’t.
What stuck out to me in what Brat said tonight on FNC is that every position that he took in his campaign is the Republican platform position.
