Oh please, oh please... Go all 3rd-party on their asses. The completely revisionist history on Reagan is a nice touch, too.
Tea Party Declares #WAR on GOP Establishment
The Tea Party Patriots declared war on the Republican establishment after moderate establishment Republican Mitt Romney's loss to President Barack Obama on Tuesday.
Jenny Beth Martin, National Coordinator of Tea Party Patriots, criticized the Republican Party for hand-picking a Beltway elite candidate who did not campaign forcefully on America's founding principles and said the "presidential loss is unequivocally on them."
For those of us who believe that America, as founded, is the greatest country in the history of the world a Shining city upon a hill we wanted someone who would fight for us, Martin said. We wanted a fighter like Ronald Reagan who boldly championed Americas founding principles, who inspired millions of independents and Reagan Democrats to join us, and who fought his leftist opponents on the idea that America, as founded, was a Shining city upon a hill.
Instead, Martin lamented, "what we got was a weak moderate candidate, hand-picked by the Beltway elites and country-club establishment wing of the Republican Party."

The GOP will not learn from this. History shows that they always double down after a defeat
