The money quote from a Washington Post piece on the Tea Party and Washington’s GOP establishment:
Former Senate majority leader Trent Lott (R-Miss.), now a D.C. lobbyist, warned that a robust bloc of rabble-rousers spells further Senate dysfunction. “We don’t need a lot of Jim DeMint disciples,” Lott said in an interview. “As soon as they get here, we need to co-opt them.”
But Lott said he’s not expecting a tea-party sweep. “I still have faith in the visceral judgment of the American people,” he said.
THANKS for reminding people about good old Tren Lottless and his co-opt comments. These guys are sickening and since he’s a lobbyist now, as Rush always says “follow the money.” So folks what we have here is a hole in their dike and what the elitist GOP thinks is that they can hold all of the TEA (Taxed Enough Already) people at bay. NOT gong to happen, folks.
Keep up the good fight and yes we’re up against a big hurdle but we can do it, so keep the faith and keep fighting the Dem AND GOP frauds.
