The old guard GOP crushed the Tea Party in yesterday's primary....is their influence waning?
Read Jonah Goldberg's column for today to get his take on the Tea Party.
The Tea Party is kind of like the old Soviet Union, great ideas but will not work in practice. I'm all for smaller government but what happens when the pot holes are not filled because road workers are laid off due to lack of funds? Also whether they like it or not they are a group that is not very inclusive; why pick a fight on immigration when these folks in general are sympathetic to their core values? These people want a fair shot to work hard, keep more of their $s, and keep govt off of their backs; sounds like the Gadsden Flag crowd to me.
