The GOP did NOT want Dr. Tom Coburn of OK, the truest of conservatives, to win his primary. Thank God the Republicans of OK swept him to victory in the primary against the Party's will. That tells you everything you need to know about the country-club Republicans in charge of the Party. They never liked dear Pres. Reagan either.

He did it with the money of
Club For Growth, conservatives who no longer trust the GOP with their political money. They don't have a litmus on abortion, sodomy marriage, or the borders. But their candidates just happen to line up strongly on those issues outside a few very liberal states. Their main agenda is cutting spending, cutting taxes, deregulation, school choice. IOW, the old Reagan-Gingrich agenda.
The Club's candidates have been winning this year, my 2007 congressman among them. And our main target for defeat is Lincoln Chafee. We're running Laffey, Cranston mayor, against him. Laffey isn't as conservative as we'd like but he's miles ahead of Chafee. And at some point, we have to get cull the GOP herd of these RINOs.
