My greatest fear at the moment is that the Tea parties will come to feel that the Republican Party cannot be reformed from Big Government supporting to Small Government supporting party.

It looks like the Republican elites haven’t spent enough time in the wilderness; Chairman Steel seems exceptionally tone deaf.
