the GOP? it bends which ever way the political winds blow.
however, the tea party is made up of self-selected, self-generaled, conservatives: believers in God, the founding, and the Constitution.
so whatever the D.C. party does—short of murdering us—has exactly zero effect. we have no power beyond what we do as individuals lest the good Lord apply our efforts for us to good effect. we might change tack depending on any windfall opportunity or weakness we perceive in the enemy, but that’s just individual tea partyers acting as their own agents.
That’s the spirit!
