I have absolute faith in Mike. Utahns will know by 2016 that he did a heroic thing standing up to this abomination.

So, the GOPe will "get rid of the caucus system where local folk pick the candidates of their choice," rather than the big bosses in the back rooms doing it for them, hummm?

Would those GOPe'rs be LDS, is it the non-LDS fighting against the LDS or both against the TEA Partiers???

Interesting to know as Bennett, I thought wasn't LDS and Lee is. Just an interesting side thought.

Non-LDS states GOPe'rs are contemplating the same strategy but not so vocal as yet.

We had this fight in KS some time ago and it continues.

We called it the moderates against the conservatives and one word was the lightening rod, "abortion," though it also contained quite a bit of anti-gay marriage but that wasn't the lightening rod that it became later.

I have faith in Mike Lee, but not in UT. Orrin G. Hatch has faith in UT, and he’s what’s wrong with UT.

The establishment is not going to win this war. They have money. They don’t have voters. That’s why they lost something like 7 races in 2012 with their cruddy candidates.

They’re already fighting it. They’d rather have Democrats win.

Cruz and Lee led the party into a one/two combo set by Valerie Jarrett and Obama and got flattened. First it was refund then...ummm. Yeah...delay....no....Vitter amendment...no wait just make sure Congress is on Obamcare...no...POW! Poll numbers collapse for the GOP. Duhhh. The public hates shutdowns. And this was a good idea why?

What does Lee and Cruz have to do with the shut down?

Harry Reid refused to hold a vote on the 11 funding bills passed by the House of Representatives, that is what caused the shut down.

C’mon I read your posts you’re smarter then that. They wanted a showdown with Obama to defund Obamcare. It was never going to happen. A Pickett’s charge. ... Obamawas on the ropes. Obamcare in flames. 140,000 lousy part time jobs...now the Saudis breaking bad . There was no reason to shut down the government...when Obama was tourching it already.

Obama and Harry shut down the government because they wanted to shut down the government.

The GOPe has been at war with “limited government, pro opportunity” conservatives since Reagan left office.

I have a very strong opinion that ‘business interests’ with the likes of Romney and Huntsman never were or are in tune with plain old citizens who want to believe that the USA is a land of opportunity for those who don’t believe the more dollars or capital one accumulates or controls makes you a better citizen. The average citizen needs to know if they are in any way contributing to these people’s millions and stop if at all possible.

The corporatists want the Republican party. If they boot out the base, they can enjoy losing.

Between this idiocy and immigration reform, the party will be finished anyway.

Is it only me, or is there a 1% bashing going on here. I personally like Biblical law when it comes to business. How to run Exxon according to Leviticus. Make a great doctoral dissertation. I wonder if the diamond industry is run that way? I’ll ask some South Africans.

Yeah...you getting it? You’re almost there. Reid’s a pawn . It was Valerie Jarrett the whole time. Just like Bengazi. She suckered in the Tea Party to shut down government then sicced the media on us. Marginalizing the right. It almost worked too. Until Obamacare blew up. I hope Lee gets primaried from the Utah Republicans. All he’s don’t so far is screw things up.

Fact is most Big Business and MultiNational Corps support Socialized Medicine....they never complain or campaigns against it around the world.

A GOP candidate going against a Tea Party candidate will be supporting ObamaCare
