I always thought the Tea Party hysteria in 2010 was a bit overblown. Given 4 years they've accomplished zero. Didn't stop Obamacare or the debt ceiling from being raised, & presided over a 2% payroll tax increase, and a roll back if W's tax cut. All in the name of a $2T spending cut in name only. All they did was lower the spending rate percentage increase over a decade.
Which begs the question, can the Tea Party run on their record?
