1. Perfect example at the present: Up until now how Republican
rank and file vote against their own interests.

I think we may be at a tipping point in this country.

The GOP Budget Plan is making people sit up and think.

Tape of some of Ryan's Town Halls were not a pretty site.

Check those Tea Party numbers.
