When did the right wing tea party say “Thank you for meeting us half way, we are so grateful, we will now go along to get along.”

They also never said "we refuse to vote as some kind of moronic protest against politicians not far right enough for us".

The Tea Party gained control of a significant fraction of the Republican party by voting in primary elections, something which we on the left are too stupid to do.
