The GOP is willing to date the tea party, but they don’t want to take them home to Mom and Dad.
With inspiration from tea partiers, Republicans there adopted a party platform last month that raised eyebrows nationally, with planks calling for the elimination of the Department of Education, a reference to global warming as a ‘myth’ and a declaration that health care ‘is not a right. It is a service.’
But even Republican candidates for governor have backed away from the platform, which replaced a pro-forma document up for adoption at the state party convention.
