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.

Where do I sign up?
I am still sticking with what most conservatives would want to see, Chris Christie/Marco Rubio,,,or Christie/Paul Ryan. Either ticket is a 55/45 Landslide and Obama will move back to the crappy south side of Chicago.
Cain, West, in 2012
Your thoughts.
Christi already said he wasnt running. Rubio has no experience.
Mitch Daniels/Lamar Alexander.
Paul/Cain or Cain/Paul, either way.
Your thoughts.
My dream ticket at this point in time would be Trump/Palin or Trump/Cain.
Paul/Cain or Cain/Paul, either way.
Your thoughts.
McCain/Palin 2012
They will do better than anyone else the Republicans are currently considering
Anyone that wins the nomination will have a very good shot at winning.

I agree. Unless Trump runs as an Independent. That would split the republican vote, giving us four more years of Obama.
Think about it though folks. If the GOP retains a substantial group in Congress and takes the White House in 2012, AND, if they make themselves as unpopular among both Democrats and Republicans as the last group in that situation, I'm guessing the Republican Party will have signed its own death warrant. And the country will be little better off than it is now.
Hardcore Democrats don't seem to care as much about results or performance or progress as they care about keeping the free flow of government largesse coming their way and the right things being said from the bully pulpit. Just gild any tarnished lily and they are happy. And there's more of them than anybody else.
I think more Republicans and all conservative independents are more results and performance oriented, do not tolerate being lied to or deceived, and are more willing to criticize their leadership for dishonesty or substandard performance. They won't tolerate four more years of liberal light.
Performance oriented? You must be joking.
The only thing the Republicans are oriented toward is the oil companies, the coal companies, Wall Street, the religious right, and the wealthy.

And banging women who aren't their wives. Can't forget that orientation!

The Tea Party is not focused on specifics but on principles. If the government gets back to an understanding and its original purpose to protect the unalienable rights of the people, all other issues can be corrected appropriately as necessary.

I got a similar answer when the Tea Party folk came to my campus. Of course, my question was asking them about specifics in policy. The ones who were there of course didn't support a host of things that would actually protect the unalienable rights of the people. Just as amusing when I ask those who say they want to take back our country what exactly they are trying to take it back from.
