the Senate. I think other Republicans are his allies, I'm not interested in writing stories about how they are honorable and he is not. They are in the same Party. There is in fact no such Party as the Tea Party. The 'Tea Party' is a rhetorical construct allowing those 'establishment' Republicans to distance themselves from the others in some way other than in their voting because that voting is identical, cast along Party lines. Republican Party lines.
