re: Whatever Happened to the Tea Party?

inside job... once republicans controlled both houses of the legislature, they voted for a big massive spending increase and basically ran out the tea party crowd (Santori Mike Lee, etc).. Rand Paul was the only one still trying to stick to their original principals. Even Rafael Theodore Cruz stabbed them in the back and 'reluctantly' agreed to support big spending increases and larger deficits.

the nation could really, reallly benefit from a tea party 3.0. shite is out of control at the moment.
