House Majority Leader turned Minority Whip Steny Hoyer is also an amateur psychologist. Sean Higgins reports on Hoyer’s diagnosis of the Tea Party:
There are a whole lot of people in the Tea Party that I see in these polls who don’t want any compromise. My presumption is they have unhappy families. All of you have been in families: single-parent, two-parents, whatever. Multiple parent and a stepfather. The fact is life is about trying to reach accommodation with one another so we can move forward. That is certainly what democracy is about. So if we are going to move forward compromise is necessary.
And perhaps they didn’t share toys as children, either.
