I couldn’t care less what we call it as long as we all hang together to defeat Dimocrats. If we want to call it the Tea Party, that’s fine with me. This is proof that in order to defeat Democrats, we MUST hang together because there are not enough that want to call themselves the Tea Party to defeat Dimocrats and there are not enough who want to call themselves Republicans. I simply do not care. I want to defeat Dimocrats.
I care about which ideology rules the roost. If it’s the ideology embraced by the current Republican party (in fact if not rhetoric) then what’s the difference being different if the difference is the same?
