Might as well say the RINO leaders are caving. Stand pat Tea Party Patriots. Force them to make a choice: stand with us or be a trader. Next election cycle will not forget.
The RINO’s are retreating to their typical crunch time strategy - surrender and invoke personal attacks on conservatives for not doing likewise. They do not understand the Freshman class or the Tea Party. These good people were elected precisely because they promised not to go along with the typical Washington BS, which created this fiscal disaster. I believe the personal epithets from the RINO’s and the establishment “conservative” commentators; McCain, Krauthamer, Charen, etc., will just strengthen the resolve of the Freshman House members. These are not just a bunch of young, green politicos. Most have substantial backgrounds in business or local/state politics and fully understand the stakes. I hope beyond hope that they will stand firm and shake the Washington establishment to its core.
