The Tea Party was presented as a "populist" group, but it was in reality taken over by the leaders of the GOP. The GOP leaders gave the Tea Party alternative groups to blame for their problems.

At this point, the issues with the NDAA are not where we should focus because between Obama and Romney, we know which would happily expand the reach of that program and many others.

The GOP does not want to govern, they want to RULE.
