GOP and Tea Party in Fight to Death
The Republican Party is in a fight to the death with the tea party, and only one of them will be left standing at the end of it, TV host Glenn Beck tells Newsmax.TV in an exclusive interview.
“Either the tea party will eat the Republicans or vice versa,” he said. “The Republicans make me nervous, quite honestly.”
Beck was speaking as he launches his GBTV, an Internet-based television channel that he has personally funded after parting ways with Fox News earlier this year.
He said that if the typical “John McCain, Lindsey Graham kind of Republican” wins the internal party battle, the GOP will be finished. “It will go the way of the Whigs,” he said.
“The Republicans have one last chance to redeem themselves and if they go with a big government kind of guy and the tea party doesn’t understand that service… and conservative small government values go hand-in-hand, we may lose the soul of our country.”
And he's right. The problem is Bachmann is not helping. The tea party has the message if it sticks on it. When they start delving into social issues, they lose the middle. They are being painted as extremists, Bachmann is helping that label. There's nothing extreme about limited government, pro-capitalism, free market solutions and less regulations to get our country moving again. That's something MOST Americans want. When Bachmann attacks the others she loses her supporting tea party members who like her... She moved 3 steps back in my book after the debate.
