You sound just like the Republican congressional leaders too. Bachman or the Tea Party just don’t represent your views, do they, nor do they speak for you?

I'm very familiar with the tea party. Not sure what the Tea Party is. Care to enlighten me and tell me who it's leader is? Amy Kremer? Michele Bachmann? I know the real tea party doesn't have a leader. And I have no problem with Rubio not wanting the tea party co-opted by Washington politicians. If Marco Rubio votes in a way that supports tea party values I could care less if he joins a tea party caucus or not.
