This tea party nonsense has got to stop if the Republicans want to keep winning elections. Last night was proof and should be a wake up call. The GOP should have won so many more races than they did, but they lost because of the tea party. They may not have won the senate, but they sure would've been a whoooole lot closer had these fools never been nominated.
Really?
