GOP v TP

Ignoring primary nastiness and so forth, the real problems are things like chairmanships and votes.  14-term representative Hal “Prince of Pork” Rogers is the chair of the House Committee on Appropriations.  Before he was even selected for the job, he mocked the Tea Party and took them to task for not winning 100% of the elections for the Republican party.  I guess that 80% of what was in play just isn’t good enough.
