ensuring that the GOP’s leadership elections will go on without any serious competition.

Yeah, that's what we want. An election without competition. LOL. I think that's called a coronation. A ruling class coronation.

Yes, because Jeb Henserling is part of the "ruling class". Glad to see you know how to parrot Sarah Palin (who knows how to parrot Rush Limbaugh). Fact is BOTH these candidates are as conservative as you can get. Henserling, along with Bachmann is a member of the Republican Study Committee. Bachmann said he was a mentor of hers when she first came to congress.

But I guess it shouldn't surprise me that conservatives would rather eat their own than focus on the real issues. And no, which conservative gets to fill the Republican Conference Chair is not a real issue. It's one made up by the MSM and some willing conservative blogs that want to see infighting between the GOP and the grass roots/tea party.

There was competition. She ran, she lost.
