What say you?
It's good that some pollsters are starting to "get" the Tea Party message. It would be better if the GOP leadership began to get it, too.
But the GOP leadership, as always, goes to whoever brings in the most money, and right now that is the people who still believe that the anti-gay and anti-abortion agendas (1) are the most important issues the Republican Party can pursue, and (2) haven't already been decided.
As long as those people control the Republican Party, the party has no future.
Making the federal government smaller -- smaller than before the New Deal! -- needs to become what the GOP is about. Or some other party, maybe the Libertarians, will and should replace the GOP in the two party system.
