The GOP Should Stay Away from Tea

In the interest of full disclosure, the Democratic Party is not "left" enough for me.

Which means it is a rare occasion that I will give the Republican Party some well-meaning advice:  stay away from the Tea Party.  Seriously, just walk away.

Given the violence and vandalism of the last few days that have been perpetrated on various Democratic members of Congress, it is clear that Tea Partiers are more about fanatic zealotry than any kind of rational thought or ideals.

And this violence is over something as relatively benign as health care for U.S. citizens.  What would be happening if instead of health care, Congress had been considering going to war with another country?  Oh, sorry, I guess we already did that one.  I guess helpful domestic agendas are all that's fair game right now.
