As the Tea Party gains power and influence, it is causing splits in the Republican Party. I mean let's face it, Republicans have been some of the biggest supporters of big government spending, entitlement programs, as well as proponents of the idea that owning your home is "right" not a privilege. George Bush, amazingly, just before the banking industry crash, wanted to away with down payments altogether , he said they were an impediment to owning a home.. really ? And it was Richard Nixon who said " We are all Keynesians now"
The Republican party will have to change it's thinking in order to coexist with the core values and principles of the Tea Party, and I predict it will not be easy. In fact don't look for any amicable relationships to bud anytime soon. The Tea Party is not looking for a cooperation with the Republican Party, they are looking to do a hostile take over.
Are social conservatives actually just big government socialists? Fox News' Judge Andrew Napolitano asks the question and provides some insights into the mixed messages of self-described social conservatives.
