[the tea potty] are causing moderate Republicans to wonder wtf they have been in bed with.

Bruce,

There is no such thing as a "moderate Republican". They disappeared off the face of the earth a dozen or more years ago. Dead as the proverbial dodo.

If any have indeed escaped this mass extinction, the few survivors have been struck dead and dumb or we'd have heard from them by now about the collection of radical, brain-dead, right-wing lunatics that their party has become.
