lucid readers see that the MSM, the Democrat Party, and the Republican Party establishment loathe the fact that Tea Partiers continue to stand their ground.

Make that “the Kennedy Wing of the Republican Party”
Duncan Hunter is a an original TEA Partier...
as is his son...
Hunter unabashedly promoted programs for friends and supporters in the defense industry whether the programs were needed or not.
The worst example was his continued pressure on DOD to continue work on a vertical take-off and landing aircraft developed by DuPont Aerospace after it had been rejected by the Army, Navy, Air Force and NASA and all four prototypes had crashed.
DuPont Aerospace was a major campaign contributor.
Supporting wild spending programs that benefit your friends is hardly Tea Party like.
