In other words, if you're not a dyed in the wool conservative, they have no place for you. The headline story on Politico.com today (link below) talks about the organized aspect of the "tea partyers" and how they are currently looking to attack GOP politicians viewed as not being conservative enough, such as Florida's GOP Governor Charlie Crist.

Until that happens, the dems and repubs will just do what they've always done -- try to get your vote by disingenuously acting more "moderate" during the general election, only to show their true colors once in office.
