I think this is crazy and stupid. It reminds me of the French Revolution where anyone who ever wore a wig was guillotined, even scholars and great French thinkers.

The Tea Partyers hated Bennett; they hate Rick Santorum; they hate Gov. Perry; they hate Carly Fiorina (God only knows why); now they even hate Sarah Palin.

I have been to four Tea Parties and supported them strongly.

But I will have to re-think my support - they’re becoming as vicious as Democrats. Their actions will only lead to Democrat victories.

I don’t hate Bennett or Santorum. Fiorina and Perry are dorks.

Well, you’re wrong about this particular contest at least. There’s no way Utahans will elect a Dem to this seat. Whoever gets the nod from the Republican convention will win.

I don't hate Santorum. I see why Bennett had to go. I see why Perry was opposed. I don't like fake conservatives so I don't care for Fiorina. And I don't hate Sarah Palin.

You paint with too broad a brush.

It's not all Tea partiers that hate Gov Perry, or Santorum or Palin.

Mostly Ron Paul supporters and others like Mitt supporters that are simply fanning the flames of anti-Palin rethoric.

the fact is that Bennett made his own bed by agreeing with the most hated socialist policies to come out of DC in a generation.

Perry, Palin, Santorum and others are if not a fav of most Tea Partiers then at least people that Tea partiers can/will support when faced with the other choices.

“But I will have to re-think my support - they’re becoming as vicious as Democrats.”

I've seen no evidence of that. What “viciousness” there has been has been SEIU plants. As far as “tea party support” for against any particular candidate, as I see it, the “tea party” isn't about promoting specific candidates, it's about awakening voters to the real tragedy that the government has become.

I, for one, am sick and tired of republicans that won't stand up against the nonsense. If they are going to jump on the bandwagon echoing the liberal medias talking point “du jour”, we don't need them. Where are the Republicans exposing the lies about “cap and trade”? Where are the Republicans standing firm with Arizona and denouncing the media scum's lies?

The media is playing us like a fiddle, and they need taken down. The Obama regime is busy working to get the FCC to take over the only free source of information left.

There will be a revolution. The only question is will the communists be left standing or be driven into the dustbins of history?

If there is an incumbent who actually fights for the conservative cause instead of resting on their laurels and being content with a little pork for their constituents, then vote them back in. But if they are living large on the government teat and doing nothing but protecting their jobs and taking care of special interests then they need to go.

Too many of our politicians lose their fire, they get fat and lazy, they get too chummy with the enemy and the special interests. We have voted the moderates in time and time again, assuring ourselves that they are better than the blazing liberals, only to find out that they’re not.

Pragmatic politics of the past led to incremental socialism. Keeping old pols in place simply because they are slightly better than Democrats keeps that process in place. It has led to national bankruptcies around the world. We’re on track to match.

People will recognize a real conservative when he courageously stands up and says “I promise to cut this, this, this, and this.” Name me more than one or two present prominent Republicans who have. Instead, like Bennett, they cower in the face of negative press attacks, cave, and then play the earmark game. Sorry, I’ve had enough.

even scholars and great French thinkers.

A) Bennett isn't a great scholar or thinker, and B) Lee and Bridgewater are eminently qualified. Don't let the door hit you on the ass.
