Rand Paul defeated the GOPe backed candidate in his primary.

Rand Paul is no longer Tea-Party.

He backed the GOP-E candidate McConnell over the Tea-Party Bevin.

He came out with his own Amnesty Plan.

He has decided that the Social Issues are not all that important to him.

He is no longer Tea-Party, he is GOP-E, in fact, he is a traitor to the Tea-Party and to conservatives every where.

Now, Libertarians probably still love him, but tried-and-true conservatives do not.

When we're social issues ever central to the mission of the TEA party?

The history of the tea party is about taxation and the size of the Federal Government.
