OT: Happy to be here and finally able to post on LGF after waiting so long! Been a lurker for awhile and I like this site.

Back on topic: I do not understand why Republicans have apparently decided that alienating every potential moderate voter is a good thing. I don’t think the tea party is powerful enough to get the kind of “change” (oh yes, I went there) they are looking for in November without some form of outside help.

The more extreme they get, the more harm they do than good.
