Really? The Tea Party favors stricter regulations on Wall Street, the banking industry, environmental protections, expanded civil rights protections, legislation safeguarding worker's pensions and their right to collective bargaining? This is what the Tea party favors? All these progressive reforms?In this coming election, like no other before in terms of partisan division, the GOP nominee will have to run HARD to the right during the primaries. That's where the buzz is created. No fence sitter he, the nominee will be loaded with positions that will scare the bejesus out of the Independents.
Those positions will have to be defended in the debates, in press conferences and on the stump. The moderates and independents will have to consider the hard core reactionary stuff the Tea Party laps up with a spoon. And it'll turn them off. Because, after all, the Tea Party types make up a large enough and vocal enough minority in the GOP to call the shots. A large enough minority in the GOP makes for a decidedly minority place among the electorate.
And that's how the radical right ate the Republican Party.
The fallacy in your argument is that the Tea Party represents the radical right. Nothing could be futher from the truth. You really need to get out more.
