A somewhat sane Republican on the tea partiers

To whom are you referring?

The person I quoted making the straw man argument.
Is it really that unclear to you?

I see no straw man, you said "There is a huge difference between a leader and a rabble rouser. A leader understands consequences." and I pointed out that it's basically admitting that none of the politicians in the government, even today, are leaders.

It is most certainly not "admitting" that.

NOW, I will add that IMHO there are precious few real leaders in gov't. today - but I didn't make the observation that there are NO leaders in gov't today. You just made that part up = straw man.
