LAS VEGAS (June 7) -- A long-brewing feud between tea party factions over Tuesday's Nevada Republican primary election has boiled over into bitter e-mail exchanges in which activists are lambasting one another as "turncoats" and "representative of a liberal mentality."
The dispute pits representatives of the Tea Party Express, the national group that has endorsed Sharron Angle to be Democratic Majority Leader Harry Reid's fall opponent, against Nevada activists who resent outside groups trying to influence an election in which several of the leading candidates have laid claim to tea party bona fides.

Is any Dem or RINO incumbent sleeping well tonight?

Never organize the Tea Party. Or you get...this.
That is their only hope to hold off an a 2010 landslide against them (libs) of massive proportions, that must have them peeing their pants as we talk. This further smack from the Commander in Chief about the oil problem is another straw on the camels back.
Long, BREWING feud? BOILED over? Lame attempt by the left at being funny about the Tea Party.

Both the NV candidates are conservatives. It is not as if one tea party is trying to sneak in a dim or a rino. So who is dividing and conquering in this?
No, this is real. Contact Barbara.
Maybe the nationals should have the grace to bow out of this one, if it looks like a debate about who can get the most angels dancing on the head of his or her pin. At least until they are ready to become a full fledged political party.
All three top candidates have pluses and minuses in this race. I’ve met all three and they need me because of the expose I wrote on Harry Reid. All three are a vast improvement over Reid. That said, some of the Tea Party factions have been a little heavy handed.
My understanding is that one ‘Tea Party’ is liberal-created, and intended to do what is happening now.
uh huh...Who told you that syncro and or TPX???
As I said both candidates are conservatives. So what is the problem?
There is one elected official in Nevada I absolutely respect, former longtime Clark County Commissioner Bruce Woodbury endorses Sue Lowden.
That's good enough for me. Until he called Saturday, I was undecided.

Wow Angle roars from just 5% to now the lead, oh well anyone but the Rino Lowden will work for me.
>"oh well anyone but the Rino Reid . . ."
I was leaning to Christensen or Chachas. Woodbury is too respected, Reid, sooo difficult to defeat.

I guess this is why we have a primary election, to end up with a candidate or two, instead of a basket full.
Friends there tell me that the groups are very divided, that there is a fierce group of Libertarians supporting Bill Parsons as well. He’s a very good man but he has had too little exposure to win the election. Lowden is a typical RINO who will vote anyway the PTB tell her to vote and many of the uninformed will vote for her. Tark is just another RINO conservative, but better than Lowden. Sharon Angle is the candidate of choice by the rest of the local tea party people. We’ll know the outcome tomorrow night.
You could dismiss it as the post calling the kettle black, but there’s still a steep road ahead, so don’t think this one’s in the bag.

I do know what you mean. We now have a senator who was the beneficiary of the largest sympathy vote in the history of the state, and he just happens to believe in a living Constitution. May I present Senator Johnson. It may be a more difficult task to get rid of him than it was to finally get rid of Tommy Two Tongues.
