think it's time to quit calling GOP "Republicans" and just refer to them as "Tea" Party
I can't think of a one that isn't aligned for the most part with tea party positions, either at the state or national level. '
Seems to me they have pretty much shed the skin of the Republican party and under that skin is a much uglier entity called the Tea Party.

That is absurd. The GOP hates the Tea Party just as much as the DUmmies do.
The Tea Party not only threatens the power of the democrats but the establishment repukes as well.
Of course the Tea Party has made mistakes, like Jeff Flake and Marco Rubio, but maybe someday we will get it right and truly take over the GOP.

DUmmy likes to paint with a broad brush
The TEA party's guiding principals are what the GOP used to be.

As a member of a Tea Party group I'm offended by rhubarblib's comment. Since I apparently have a "right" to never be offended, I want rhubarb to be arrested and charged with a hate crime.

You are not part of any protected group, so therefore you have no rights. You crazy ass cracker. :-)

I would estimate that at least 30% of the Tea Party are independents. I seriously doubt that there are more than 50% registered republicans that claim to be in the Tea Party.

If only Republicans were Tea Partiers...

I'd go even further. The TEA party's guiding principles are what the USA used to be and what the Founding Fathers intended.

I have maintained from the beginning that the "Tea Party" is a hostile takeover of the GOP. Nothing would please me more than to find that the GOP had adopted the Tea platform in toto.
In other words, I think the DUmmie quoted in the OP is premature, and I hope a couple more primary/election cycles prove it right.

The GOP should be so lucky.

Exactly my thought. :hi5:

If everyone in the GOP were made up of all Tea Party individuals, the GOP would be landsliding the Dems into oblivion, unemployment rate would be around 3-4% (normal in a growth-oriented economy), other countries may not like us but they sure as hell would RESPECT our military and our resolve for upholding our Constitution, and most of all, Democratic Underground would be true national laughingstock. Well, I take the last one back. It already IS a laughingstock, but at least it wouldn't be as annoying.

Fetal Alcohol Syndrome
Several characteristic craniofacial abnormalities are often visible in individuals with FAS.[25] The presence of FAS facial features indicates brain damage, though brain damage may also exist in their absence. FAS facial features (and most other visible, but non-diagnostic, deformities) are believed to be caused mainly during the 10th and 20th week of gestation.[26]
Refinements in diagnostic criteria since 1975 have yielded three distinctive and diagnostically significant facial features known to result from prenatal alcohol exposure and distinguishes FAS from other disorders with partially overlapping characteristics.[27][28] The three FAS facial features are:
A smooth philtrum — The divot or groove between the nose and upper lip flattens with increased prenatal alcohol exposure.
Thin vermilion — The upper lip thins with increased prenatal alcohol exposure.
Small palpebral fissures — Eye width decreases with increased prenatal alcohol exposure.
The four diagnostic systems list various CNS domains that can qualify for functional impairment that can determine an FAS diagnosis:
Evidence of a complex pattern of behavior or cognitive abnormalities inconsistent with developmental level in the following CNS domains — sufficient for a PFAS (partial fetal alcohol syndrome) or ARND (alcohol-related neurodevelopmental disorder) diagnosis using IOM guidelines[20]
Learning disabilities, academic achievement, impulse control, social perception, communication, abstraction, math skills, memory, attention, judgment
Performance at two or more standard deviations on standardized testing in three or more of the following CNS domains — sufficient for a FAS, PFAS or static encephalopathy diagnosis using 4-Digit Diagnostic Code[11]
Executive functioning, memory, cognition, social/adaptive skills, academic achievement, language, motor skills, attention, activity level
General cognitive deficits (e.g., IQ) at or below the 3rd percentile on standardized testing — sufficient for an FAS diagnosis using CDC guidelines[23]
Performance at or below the 16th percentile on standardized testing in three or more of the following CNS domains — sufficient for an FAS diagnosis using CDC guidelines[23]
Cognition, executive functioning, motor functioning, attention and hyperactive problems, social skills, sensory integration dysfunction, social communication, memory, difficulties responding to common parenting practices
Performance at two or more standard deviations on standardized testing in three or more of the following CNS domains — sufficient for an FAS diagnosis using Canadian guidelines
Cognition, communication, academic achievement, memory, executive functioning, adaptive behavior, social skills, social communication

Fine. Then we will just continue to call you communists and/or socialists rather than Democrats.

I have participated in Tea Par events since 2010 and I am a registered Republican, but for primary purposes only(the only remaining reason to keep that registration.)
