No I think it was before the Tea Party took the Republican party to the extreme. The Tea Party has done more harm than good within the party buy making the Republicans look out of touch and like a bunch of conservative freaks. Hello what happened to any bipartisan effort? Have we lost our way? Have we lost our ability to work together? I think so! We have a two (three) party system for a reason. It's called checks and balance. Together we can accomplish anything, but on our current path we don't stand a chance.
