Time for them to purge their leadership of false leaders perhaps? Maybe OVERDUE!
You fail to understand the tea party. The tea party movement is centered on the understanding that massive deficits, excessive taxation and regulation, and cronyism will cause America's economy to collapse.
Social conservatives who are wise will be glad for the tea party movement and will help pitch a big tent in the near term while seeking converts to the social conservative cause over the medium term. Foolish social conservatives with no wisdom and no game will demand that the tea party movement be anti-abortion and anti-gay from the start and in this way weaken and divide it.
Obama, the leftists in general, and Satan are counting on the short-sighted social conservatives to save them from the tea party movement.
