I think the GOP leadership would like to "Throw the Tea Party under the bus"

But they are either short on buses or the buses are too short.

I have wondered once or twice whether the Tea faction is being given enough rope to hang itself, right now. So far I've been deciding that such an idea grants Republican leadership too much good sense and/or good intent, when I have those thoughts. It would be nice, though. They need to fix their broken party, not just try to manage its public image. At least some of them do seem to realize that.
