The fact below is not telling of the extreme nature of the Tea Party, Jay? Likely there would be more participants on a Jews for Hitler blog. It amazes me that you make this remark as if it were something to be proud of. I fear for the well being of our country given this level of divisiveness. How can we reach the kind of political compromise that will allow us to work together and actually solve our problems? This is not a rhetorical question; I'm genuinely anxious to know what you think. How do we find the middle ground given the political climate?<br>

Some self-identified Tea Party activists -- "self identified" probably because their Tea Party brethren wouldn't welcome them into the fold -- evidently have seen the light. <br>
<br>Perhaps this is ultimate proof that even those you'd expect to embrace one of the GOP presidential candidates are becoming aware that not a one of them, now that Huntsman is out, deserves their support, much less even five more minutes in the spotlight. Still, I think "gobsmacked" describes what I felt after seeing this. <br>
