Unhook tea party from GOP wagon

By Staff | Dec 21, 2013

Rep. Rick LeVasseur’s assertion that the tea party is party-agnostic is wishful thinking. The tea party is, and has been, hitched to the Republican wagon. No similar Democratic wing exists. And, unfortunately for the tea party, it becomes more evident each day that the GOP body is rejecting it. Regardless of the relative merits of its platform, it has an overriding public relations problem. Best for everyone if the tea party secedes from the GOP to establish itself as a bona fide party. Only then will the true measure of its appeal be proven out.
