Very true, but why is that a reason to snub the GOP now? Hint: it's not.

HINT: Get a grasp at who is snubbing at the GOP values!!

[Terpfen]

Okay, so, let me get this straight.

Event 1: The GOP strays from its core conservative values.
Event 2: In response to a perceived lack of representation of those values, tea parties erupt to express grassroots opposition to Obama’s socialist agenda.
Event 3: The GOP realizes it’s being left behind and begins moving in response and recognition of the Tea Parties.
Event 4: The Tea Partiers reject the GOP.

In your mind, this is a correct and viable course of action? I bet you voted for Perot.
