Judd Gregg – TEA Partier?

Gadsden Flag

This is a peculiar take on who would constitute part of a TEA Party caucus (emphasis mine):

After last night’s primary elections, a pipedream came to me: A new tea-party center is forming in the Republican Senate caucus. It will be the first Reagan nucleus in many years, one that will give the GOP a strong limited-government, cut-spending, low-tax-rate, stop-government-controls, and end-Bailout Nation message that will have clarity and gusto and will reverberate throughout the country.

Here’s how it’s going to work: Rand Paul will grab the Senate seat in Kentucky. Marco Rubio will take Florida. Mike Lee will win in Utah. Pat Toomey will finally prevail in Pennsylvania. And Carly Fiorina will knock off Barbara Boxer in California.

Yup. That’s how I see it. And this new tea-party Senate nucleus will join free-market stalwarts like Jim DeMint, Tom Coburn, Jon Kyl, Richard Shelby, Jeff Sessions, and John Thune. I’m probably leaving somebody out in the Senate, and I apologize in advance. But that’s what I’m thinking. It’s a pity Judd Gregg is retiring; he could be part of that group also.

…But even if they don’t, this new group will revolutionize politics.

To the last sentence – absolutely!  Governing from a foundation more attuned to what started this country on the road to be the wealthiest, the freest in world history?  What’s not to like about that?

But to the bolded line – er, Larry Kudlow (author of the post)?  No. 

Judd?  Ah, no – am having a hard time wrapping my head around that one. Some times traveller?  Maybe…at times…but a full time, rip-roaring, flag waving, sign-holding, Constitution spouting, TEA Partier? 

My head is hurting over that thought that someone would consider Judd a TEA Party type person….but I’d be willing to reconsider if he acted like one!
