Well you know I'm very supportive of what the Tea Party is trying to do. They're very concerned with spending the deficit the bailouts you know all of those kinds of things. But I really think that the strength of the Tea Party is being a grassroots movement.

The fact is if our primary legislative goals are to repeal and replace the health spending bill to end the bailouts cut spending and shrink the size and scope of government the only way to do all these things it is to put someone in the White House who won't veto any of these things.

I've criticized President Bush for his failure to use his veto pen. There's plenty of blame to go around. The question is how to solve problems. It's not bailouts. What made America great? Free markets free enterprise manufacturing job creation. That's how we're gonna do it not by enlarging government.
