In the last 36 hours, Tea Party people from the Governor of Louisiana Bobby Jindal to the head of the party Reince Priebus to former Mississippi governor Haley Barbour state that the real problem the party has is what what is being said by some of their members. Mr. Priebus even went so far as saying that the party doesn't need to expand the base, but just needs to accept everyone that agrees with them. But they miss the main point: They don't stand for the majority of Americans, and in their hearts, they know it.
The nation (I mean that over 50% of Americans believe this when I say this) believes that there are times that an abortion is acceptable. The GOP believes there are no reasons. The country believes in equality for all people. The GOP doesn't. The country believes in social security, medicare, and medicaid. The GOP doesn't. The country believes in strong gun control. The country believes that the military can be cuts. The GOP doesn't. And these are just some of the issues that a majority of the country believes in that the GOP doesn't. And how can I know that in their hearts, the Tea Party knows they don't stand for what the majority of Americans want? Because in 2012 they tried to stop certain people from voting, and now they are trying to rig elections so that a vote in an urban area means less than one from a rural area. Why would they do that if they thought they actually stood for what a majority of Americans wanted.
The GOP, the Tea Party, has stated although some of their political leaders have said some dumb things, but their message is right for America. Well, I'm sorry, Tea Party, but you don't stand for what a majority of Americans want. And the fact you don't know that or don't care and want to change the rules shows just how sad and pathetic your party really is.
