The Republican party doesn't want to win elections so they can do what is best for citizens and the nation.Proof?They want to win elections so they are first in line at the pig trough.
Just look how the acted during the Bush administration.
Virtually nobody in the GOPe ever speaks highly of the Tea Party. If they respected and believed in Tea Party goals you would expect to hear words of encouragement and support instead of derision and disrespect.
The GOP just wants our money and our votes, but not our principles and convictions.
