The Tea Party didn't exist until January 2009. If they had any issue with how straight ticket Republicans like you and I wanted things they would have invented themselves long before then.
Just more BS, which was expected from you. Things evolve at their own pace. Not on your timeline. miles
I am not making up any timeline. They didn't exist until January 2009 when they were needed to really combat Obama.
The President's 2005 ban on semi-auto replacement parts was , the Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement, and Modernization Act of 2003, No Child Left Behind Act of 2002, with all perfectly fine with them/us(ie, you and me). Got a little tricky in the Fall of 2008 when you and I had to tell crazy libertarian/constitutionalist types they needed to vote McCain because Obama voted for the bailouts, but that is just what you and I have to do.
Heck, you and I even wanted Romneycare which Obamacare was modeled after.
