And another reason people are Tea Partying is that they are in a minority, they have griped to their Congressmen and Senators, and the stuff they don't want is happening anyway. Look at the two who were upset in their primaries this month-- Sen. Bennett was a reliable Republican, but he is being "held accountable" for being outvoted.

FWIW, political stupidity is all over, I think the GOP candidate for governor in Ohio is going to run on repealing the income tax so he can attract businesses to the state. I don't think businesses will come to a state with no schools....
