    Please inform me then.

    I feel the Republicans are not turning their backs on Tea Party-type candidates. So if you feel I'm wrong, please elaborate.
    When given the choice between big business and big government, choose big business. Big business never threw millions of people into gas chambers, but big government did.

    They aren't turning their backs on them. They are feeding them everything they want to hear. It's politics as usual.

    We shall see. You MAY be right, but we wont know until these people start actually voting once elected (assuming they win the elections of course). Maybe they will be honest and vote like they said they would, like Ron Paul does. Of course they be telling people what they want to hear in order to get elected, like Obama did. But I don't see how you can predict that now.
