You are ducking the question, because the question shoves your lame assed meme up your ass.
I answered your question directly. Indeed, I'm glad to, as it's the exact point I've been making.
Their allegiance is to winning now, not ideology. They've seen candidate after candidate stand up for the bullshit they spout at their rallies and lose. They watched every one of the Republican presidential candidates associated with them fall in the primaries.
Their wagon is hitched to Moderate Mitt and they couldn't cheer louder at his sudden realization that maybe the Democrats' ideas aren't so bad. They even like bailouts now!
I predicted a year ago that a Romney win in the primary would kill the Tea Party because they would abandon everything they claimed to believe in to support him. He pandered to them far longer into the general election than I thought he would, and for a time it looked like I was wrong. But the transformation is now complete and it turns out I was correct. The Tea Party is dead and Mitt Romney, one of the few people in the Republican Party who could accomplish this, is its slayer. We are all moderate Democrats now.
Again, for that we owe him.
Would you agree that fiscal responsibility is a Tea Party's top priority?
Would you agree that fiscal responsibility is a Romney's top priority?
Romney's plan is to cut taxes, increase military spending, not touch Medicare, not touch Social Security,
and somehow, magically, balance the budget.
That is about the least fiscally responsible plan one can imagine.
