will the tea party have show trials for those who actually approve of governing, too?

I cannot freaking believe this is a party that thinks it should have control of one of the most powerful nations in the world.

...or that they kowtow to the idiots who just cost this nation millions.

The Republican Party needs to go away.

Let the moderates combine with conservative democrats and let liberals form the Democratic Party.

Otherwise we'll keep getting bullshit like this.
