2. It's not Tea Bagger controlled yet, it's still leans neo-con
I'd estimate true Tea Baggers are roughly 20-25% of the pukes in the House. The term is thrown out a bit too loosely. For example, Bush II was an awful neo-con, but the furthest thing away from a Tea Bagger.
It IS tea bag controlled b/c the rest of the party (non-tea bag) can't pass anything w/o the votes of the tea baggers. Therefore, they're calling the shots. A minority is controlling the policy and the destiny of the country and the world.
The only way to drag in any republicans, who vote almost exclusively as a block, is to gut social services and entitlement programs. That is not a compromise I want our party to accept.
