Some words of wisdom for the Republican Party from last night’s Rachel Maddow Show:

“If you were the Republican Party, and you were going to give one of these groups of Americans veto power over who was going to be your presidential nominee…which of these groups would you [choose]? I mean, really? You’d give that power to the one at the very, very bottom, underneath the atheists? Really?”

In their hearts, they know she’s right…

But how does this explain why the Obama administration kowtows to the Tea party?
