After 2008 and the treatment of the TEA Party by the GOP, I think all state GOPs are establishment. It’s the local folks who are the conservatives. Sort of the same way that all our institutions are corrupted by liberals because they put all their energy into amassing power, rather than working at a job and raising a good family, the top jobs in our republican party are held by the RINOs while the rest of us work and raise children with good morals.

And I think the higher up the ladder you go, the more the repubs and the dems become indistinguishable from each other... and the fewer and fewer real conservatives you see.
