That's what I was thinking. It's hard for them to be considered credible with the wingnuts making all that noise.

Conservatism is not about leaving people behind. Conservatism is about empowering people to catch up, to give them tools at their disposal that make it possible for them to access all the hope, all the promise, all the opportunity that America offers. - Marco Rubio

Did you see Tancredo's address at the 600 person strong Tea Party rally the other week?

The problem the Tea Party will have is that the GOP is going to use them publicly, but not really embrace them as a movement within the party.

Their defacto leader, Sarah Palin is...well, enough said

I think the GOP is in trouble with the tea party too. They are demanding conservatives, not the GOP cowards we now have.Watch what happens to McCain.

I don't think they're even demanding conservatives. Some are demanding fiscal conservatism, and others are just kooks. Most are simply rebelling against Government spending which is an issue with both main parties.

I don't see any policy from them though, aside from Palin's "common sense" approach to everything. You know, if you have a problem apply a common sense solution
