GOP Congressman says Tea Party undermines the Republican Party

Louisiana Republican Charles Boustany questioned the political allegiances and motivations of his tea party-aligned colleagues.

...

"There are members with a different agenda," Boustany said Wednesday in an interview in his office. "And I'm not sure they're Republicans and I'm not sure they're conservative."

...

"There are a handful of members – the numbers sort of vary, it's in the 20-30 range – that are enough to derail a Republican conservative agenda in the House."

...

"I think there are members who are in complete denial about their responsibility to govern and to try to use conservative principles to get the best possible legislative package we can get," he said.

...

"Their allegiance is not to the members in the conference. Their allegiance is not to the leadership team and to conservative values," he said. "Their allegiance is to these outside Washington DC interest groups that raise money and go after conservative Republicans."

Maybe it's my rose colored glasses but aren't all the congressmen and women suppose to have an allegiance to the people they represent?
