The GOP Embraces the Tea Party

Well it is about time they did.

But Sen. John Cornyn of Texas, the head of the National Republican Senatorial Committee, was offering plenty of salve Tuesday.

"I think the tea party's been a very constructive movement in American politics," he said. "People are tired of everything thrown at them from Washington, and they are not going to take it anymore. We have embraced their enthusiasm and their energy in the Republican primaries and now we're strongly behind all the Republican nominees, including a number of candidates who are very actively supported by the tea party movement."

I think they are afraid that many Tea Party candidates are going to win and there will be a split in the party. I mean who are the GOP going to support anyway the Democrat running against them?
