I concede the point there-some Tea Partiers are really in with the anti-vaxer crowd (for that matter see Michelle Bachmann on the HPV vaccine). But at the same time keep in mind that the Tea Party isn’t defined by some one central organization and such anti-vaxer views are hardly mainstream in the GOP.
It appears there’s some controversy in the Tea Party movement. Should government employees permit parents to administer corporal punishment, or should the employees perform it themselves?

Well, try an historical parallel. Remember how widespread "leftism"was in the seventies? The pendulum has just swung back again. (snip)
I think we mis-remember and overgeneralize about this.
Just a reminder: Presidents of the 70s: Nixon, Ford, Carter (one term), Reagan in 1980. Not exactly widespread leftism in terms of results of national elections…
Don’t you? That started with Goldwater and accelerated with Nixon. Ultimately, over the course of the 1960s and 1970s, the GOP is where most of America’s white racists found their home. As for the Tea Party, less said the better.
:rolleyes: What, specifically, gives you that preposterous idea? Not Obama’s pathetic half-assed health-care reform, certainly.
Perhaps because we are not all Centrists. 
Wow. Really? You really posted that?
Aw, I thought it was just a cutesy quip.
I couldn’t decide whether to cap it with “[rimshot]” or “::d&r::”.
You missed the best bit, from Bill Clinton’s statement on the bill:
You really need to stop believing political attack ads, adaher. Or indeed anything the Romney campaign says, since his campaign staff seem to live in Bizarro World.
You really think he believes this stuff?
.
I thought that was pretty low.
Yes, but it is the 'Dope.
That reminded me of hospital workers telling women in delivery hey you spread your legs nine months ago and now you are complaining?
