The only problem is how at this stage even the Tea Party's demagoguery wasn't sufficient to allow it to maintain independence...publicly its precieved directly due to the media as having been swallowed in part or whole by the GOP. Which one may have failed to notice was plastered all over the media almost at the first mention of the Tea Party...even though it was initially a completely independent movement, the media "spin" made the reality conform to the lie.
