‘Cuz, ya know, before the TEA Party came along Republicans in Congress were stalwart opponents of the expansion of government!
Okay.
Name three things that the Tea Party has gotten its way on.

Is the government spending less?
Has the debt ceiling been lowered?
Is Obamacare dead?
The Tea Party ran on all the above.

Go ahead - name three major victories the Tea Party has had.
REAL victories - not just establishment mad we’re not spending as fast as they want.
Just three.
