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.

Which is it? You’re familiar but you’re not? You are right, the real tea party does not have a leader. The Republican Party has a leader and look where that got us. It appears as though you are still making excuses for Republicans. The Republicans, mostly RINOS have had their chance. Now it time for them to get out of the way.
