You miss the point of my story entirely, and your mean-spirited response is a good indication of why more Republicans aren't on board.
I like this lady, which is why I am dating her. (So what does that make ME? You've managed to insult two people with one assertion.)
This lady has not been at all resistant to my political ideas. In fact, she is coming around. In terms of her politics, I saw her as someone who could be won over (which she is proving to be), whereas you would have seen her as someone worth convincing that Tea Party supporters are the crazy extremist a-holes that RINOs make them out to be.
The point is that I am the first actual Tea Party supporter she has met. So your very impolite description of her as a hairless monkey and willfully uninformed dipstick -- who argues with folks like us who study politics, and then gets angry and stomps away when presented with facts -- is wrong, way out of line, and very unproductive.
I'll bet you're real successful turning less informed Republicans into potential Tea Party supporters with your (not) winning attitude and approach to (not) winning friends and influencing people.
Do me (and the conservative movement) a favor. Next time you meet a Republican who has a problem with the Tea Party, just keep your mouth shut and try to refer them to someone who knows how to recognize a recruiting opportunity when they see one.
Some suggested summer reading:
I was not insulting any one person. Watch some man on the street interviews. Most people never heard of Benghazi, fast and furious, or any other big news. The American people are incredibly uninformed, and willfully so. But they vote.
