You are right, but drawing the wrong conclusion. This is a war on ALL elected professional politician of both parties. The choice has narrowed to the "least bad" from the choices we have been dealt.
These professional politicians and their hidden financial supporters fear the Tea Party movement more than Dracula fears garlic.
That is why the "extreme right wing Tea Party" is credited with polluting the "purity" of the Republicans, by Wasserman Schultz (Weiner light) overtly, and the establishment "Conservative Republicans" covertly.
The elected Establishment of both parties created our national crisis and, short of armed revolution, only they can reverse it. As voters, all we can do is erase all the (D) and (R) from our ballots and elect or dump politicians as often as necessary until the right people, with the right backbones, begin solving the problems.
Good luck blaming the Tea Party; it has no leadership, no "Big Dogs" fighting for a lifetime of bennies, and mouthing platitudes. The productive electorate, all of it has finally seen the problem, and they all better be afraid; very afraid.
