The tea party stands for a series of propositions that don't meet the reality test: that deficits matter more than jobs, that cutting deficits and tightening credit will accelerate economic growth, that high taxes and over-regulation are the most important reasons that growth has not revived, and that America still offers the world's best opportunity for the poor to rise.

Tea party plans call for a radical shift in the burden of taxation from the rich to the poor -- and promise big reductions in government spending without touching any of the benefits of current retirees.

If put into practice, the tea party platform is a formula for political and economic crisis.

Fortunately, it remains a long-shot outcome.

Are the views of the non-tea party Republicans troubling the Tea Party Republicans?

I would say that this has already happened--the Tea Party has already destroyed the GOP, they just aren't aware of it yet. The country has seen the TP for the unreasonable obstructionists that they have been in Congress, and continue to be. It's the only good thing that came out of the 2010 election. I doubt we'll see a repeat of that election cycle any time soon. The Tea Party is finished.

Do your house ants wary of termites that are moving in?

Who cares! Get rid of them all and your house will be in better shape!

If only Republicans and Teabaggers can be removed by pesticides, this country will be in much better shape but you get the idea.

The RNC doesn't want Tea Party type republicans elected. Established DNC & RNC want to continue the status quo. GW Bush was not a fiscal conservative.

It was a choice between him and very liberal opponents, one of whom once said he wanted to raise the price of gas by $0.50 per gallon tax.

Yeah, we should listen to Frum, the less than RINO, the obama supporter and a beltway elite.
