Greg Collett, a two-time GOP legislative candidate in Canyon County, is defending enrolling his 10 children in taxpayer-funded Medicaid while he declines to buy his own insurance under the Affordable Care Act.
The Tea Party, ladies and gentlemen.

Well, he's of high moral fiber for a Tea Party member. The two Tea nuts I know of personally have collected unemployment while working for cash, collected disability when there's nothing wrong, filed homestead exemption on a house they don't even live in, and in all likelihood staged a fake burglary for insurance money.

If this guy had actually won an election it might matter but the people, including Tea Party members didn't give him enough support to pull off a win. Doesn't that alone prove that his way of thinking isn't nearly as popular as many lefty wing loons would like to make it out to be?
