They look like what I consider to be a nice mix of "normal" Americans. I also noticed that their faces look open, calm and happy, not closed, angry and agitated, like most groups of tea nuts. You're right about the GOP, they are closing in upon themselves. Still, they seem to have a lot of power, considering. Guess that's because they have the moneyed interests behind them.
