The Tea Party, which is composed of real workers, has been trying to turn the Republican party into this, but with admittedly mixed success.
The Tea Party as a labor movement? Where did you get this idea? They are a libertarian-type conservative movement. Their principal opposition was to deficit-spending to fund liberal projects. My understanding is that they were mainly composed of older, retired workers or self-employed individuals, as opposed to working-class wage earners.
I hope you straightened out poor Warren on that one, mike. what's the chance of that?
