2. Tea Party

I have a stepson who is a tea party person. It is difficult to believe the words coming out of his mouth. He is in constant denial and Obama is to blame for everything from cold weather to Bridgegate. The tea partiers are a bunch of right wing hacks that need their own movement to feel important. It has grown within the Republican party, but couldn't(?) possibly become a major player in political circles with the likes of Ted Cruz (always good for a laugh), Rand Paul (unbelievable naive), and Marco Rubio (entirely insignificant at this point). Mike Lee doesn't seem to know what he is ever talking about. My concern with this group is their talk that they will support armed rebellion against the government. I believe I read that on DU. That, in my thinking, would be treason.
