Mark Levin to GOP Establishment: 'But for the Tea Party, You'd Be Nothing'

After the Republican establishment gloated on Tuesday for surviving primary challenges against underfunded Tea Party challengers, conservative talk radio host Mark Levin ripped into the Republican leadership for preferring candidates they can coerce to support policies their conservative constituents oppose.

Levin said the question of whether the Tea Party is dead is a stupid one, and he asked why establishment Republicans were spending "millions of dollars laundered through Karl Rove's group and Mitch McConnell's National Republican Senatorial Committee" to fight and trash conservatives:

"These "Republican leaders" only want to be in the majority if they can control the people we send to Congress. Mitch McConnell does not want any more Ted Cruzes or Mike Lees, or anybody else who’s going to give him trouble. He wants Republicans who are going to lie down and do what he tells them to do.

John Boehner and Eric Cantor? Exactly the same thing. These people are not about empowering the American people; they’re about empowering themselves. They see a majority in the House and a majority in the Senate, not as an opportunity to serve the people, but to serve themselves."(continued)

You don't know.

Stop there.

It’s already happening, and they’re bringing out the “purity” meme-—even this early in the game.

Too bad the fathers didn't implement a “none of the above” option.

To paraphrase Bill Buckley, “I’d rather be governed by the first 2000 people in the phone book.” Average citizens would be able to make common sense decisions based on agreed to outcomes and effective allocation of resources to solve problems—without lobbyists, graft, corruption and special interests.
