The Problem? They're Just Not Crazy Enough!
http://apnews.excite.com/article/2013080...47A82.html

Quote: Four years ago, the movement and its potent mix of anger and populism persuaded thousands of costumed and sign-waving conservatives to protest the ballooning deficit and President Obama's health care law. It swept a crop of no-compromise lawmakers into Congress and governor's offices and transformed political up-and-comers, including Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, into household names.

But as many tea party stars seek re-election next year and Rubio considers a 2016 presidential run, conservative activists are finding themselves at a crossroads. Many of their standard-bearers have embraced more moderate positions on bedrock issues such as immigration and health care, broadening their appeal in swing states but dampening grass-roots passion.

"They keep sticking their finger in the eyes of the guys who got them elected," said Ralph King, a co-founder of the Cleveland Tea Party Patriots. "A lot of people are feeling betrayed."

"Batshit crazy" isn't good enough for tea bagging shitheads. Apparently they insist on "stark raving lunatic!"

Tea baggers. Sigh.

It behooves their candidates to keep the guano under wraps until the at least the swearing in. Why is this surprising?

When the premise of a concept is purity, then it is self-detructive as no candidate upholding that concept is ever "pure" enough. The Tea Party's days are numbered.
