Mariage difficile pour l'instant entre les représentants du Tea party et les élus républicains. Encore du travail à faire avant l'élection de 2012...
Un exemple? Déclaration de John Boehner:
Everyone from House Speaker John Boehner to the decades-old Conservative Political Action Conference is embracing, if not celebrating, the libertarian-leaning activists who upended the Republican establishment and helped the GOP post huge congressional gains last fall.
"I'm a big believer in the tea party," Boehner said. His comment came just days before tea party-backed House Republicans caused headaches for the speaker on Capitol Hill by dealing him a string of unexpected legislative defeats and forcing his lieutenants to propose deeper budget cuts.
Réponse d'un leader du Tea party:
"We're not an arm of the Republican Party," Kremer said. "In fact, there are a lot of Republicans that don't like us. Our objective is to send conservatives to Washington – not Republicans."
In that way and others, the anti-establishment tea party has been – and continues to be – both blessing and curse for Republicans.
