Republicans vs. Tea Party

A New York Times article looked at the Republican and Tea Party relationship. It is a very interesting article.  But the most interesting thing in article was:

  Senator John Cornyn of Texas, who has been on the receiving end of anti-establishment anger, argued that the Tea Party had helped Republicans in one important respect, by moving the debate away from social issues. While Tea Party supporters tend to be socially conservative on issues like same-sex marriage and abortion, most say they don’t want to talk about them; they believe that by spending so much time on those issues, the Republican Party failed to focus on fiscal conservatism.

While social issues tend to be polarizing, Republicans can win on economic issues, Mr. Cornyn said, because the Democrats have been in charge as the economy has gone south.

That's why the Democrats have got to get off the couch and pick up our signs and say NO.  We didn't cause this Economic Crisis. (Notice the Tea Party signs say Obama bailed out AIG)

If these people can't even remember what happened 18 months ago, how are they going to run a government?  The Republicans can NOT have the keys back!
