14. Yes, but please don't. If you really want to egg them on, ask them who are the true Republicans.

The Tea Party believes anyone who voted to fund the government or raise the debt limit is a traitor.

The business Republicans think anyone willing to wreck the credit rating of the United States is stupid and a traitor.

The Tea Party believes in our military actions, is anti-abortion, is anti-gay.

Libertarians think our military actions are wastes of money, believe its not the government's business to interfere with a woman's decision to have an abortion, and believes the government should stay out of the bedroom.

As long as Republicans won, they could hold their coalition together. The Republicans look like losers.

The Republican Party is not a big tent party tolerant of opposing views when they are losing.

The Republican Party will have an internal fight to find itself and define itself.

The Republican Party will impose litmus tests, will decide what it takes to be a true Republican.

You want to egg them on?

Ask one of these divisive questions to a group of Republicans when the group is not of the same wing.

Ask who are the true Republicans. I believe, the phrase, true Republicans, will be heard more and more as time goes on.

Americans with at least half a brain realize this, including most Democrats, not just "Libertarians."

Our government is our nation. If Tea Partiers hate our country so badly, why do they insist on representing it? Too much tea causes paranoia and agitation. We would be better served by a Beer Party.
