I would love to see every Democratic politician and spokesperson stop using Republican and start using tea party all the time. I wouldn't differentiate between the t.p. caucus members or the so-called "moderates" just completely change the name of the party. They went to bed with them, let them own it. Or let them deny it...that might be even more fun.
