That is why Adam Kinzinger is playing the bully against the TEA PARTY that elected him. He knows he has organizations that are coing behind him and wiping up his poo-poo

[RoosterRedux]

the Republican Party is gearing up to exorcise itself of conservative and Tea Party elements

This is like a dog's tail deciding to amputate the dog.

Do it!

[gov_bean_ counter]

Desperation Hail Mary by the GOPe.

[Gaffer]

They are going to find out that the millions of conservatives that have the sentiment of the Tea Party and not officially aligned with it are going to do one of two things:

1) Stay home in droves in the face of voting for a RINO, or
2) Crush RNC Republicans in the primaries.

I am praying for the latter.

This is hilarious. The malignant RINO tumor now insists it will defeat the immune system and take over the entire body, which, cancer ridden, will then “win”. Or something.

[Tanniker Smith]

They still fail to realize that if they remove the Tea Party from their ranks, they go back into the minority.

The "Tea Party" candidates provided their margin of victory.

I hear that “business” is behind this movement. I wonder, who exactly does business think fuels the economy? Is it the Santa Claus crowd or the people in the Tea Party who actually own businesses and have jobs? Great strategy there, attack your customers and then ask for their business later.

As for the politics, this is just silly. Attack your base, demoralize it, have them not show up on election day and then blame them when you lose. Wonderful. Moreover, do they really think they can brow beat those who are disgusted with them into voting for them by doing the exact things that caused the disgust in the first place. Nothing like accepting the premises of your opponents.

T.E.A. Party = taxed enough already.

The Tea Party stands for fiscal responsibility and limited government, maximum freedom. There are no social issues in the Tea Party and that is how it should be. It’s for limited government, period.

WHAT THE HELL IS THE GOP STANDING FOR, in their fight against the Tea Party?

[mrsmith]

LATOURETTE’s donors read like a who’s who of pigs at the government trough.
His donors are fighting for big, big government dollars and he’ll have lots of donations to use.

One prong of attacking him would be expressing one’s distaste to those who donate to his campaign.

[Some Fat Guy in L.A.]

Who’s going to vote for these suicidal morons when conservatives fly the coop? Do they really think that most of the newly legalized Mexicans are going to vote for them out of gratitude?
