Apparently that upsets the socialists, communists, and liberals.<br /><br />Maybe you didn't notice but in Texas, Tea Party-backed Ted Cruz won a US Senate seat. Tea Party-backed State Sen. Ken Paxton won the Texas Attorney general runoff against the establishment State Rep. Dan Branch. Tea Party candidates have won nearly every major race in the Texas primary. Some are saying the Tea Party has effectively taken over the Republican Party from within in Texas and nobody was killed.<br /><br />What you should do is interview 5 top Tea Party candidates, and then go over to Iraq and interview 5 leaders of ISIL and then come back and tell us if you still think there the Tea Party and ISIL are so similar.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
