from When the Tea Party Came to Town [p. 96]
Of course, the freshmen [congressmen elected with Tea Party support] ...should have known--it wasn't ancient history but rather had occurred even in their lifetimes--that their hero Reagan had raised taxes eleven times in the course of his presidency, had tripled the debt and grown the federal government, and had granted amnesty to illegal immigrants. Practially a socialist in their eyes! This crowd would have found Reagan as useful (as [Congressman] Dingell liked to say) as feathers on a fish.
