I refuse to let the Republicans off the hook by blaming the so-called tea party.

It seems a lot of people want to let repugs off the hook and 'just blame the baggers'... I call bullshit on that. The repugs are the teabaggers.

Folks you are correct. i never thought of it as giving the Republicans a break by blaming it on the tea party. But the tea party is controlling the Republicans. Have to rethink and rephrase.
