The latest skirmish in the growing war within the GOP began when John McCain took to the Senate floor last week to lecture Michele Bachmann and other GOP Representatives about their letters to various federal officials regarding Muslim Brotherhood influence within the U.S. government. (See also: Obama Administration Draws Closer to Egypt's Moslem Brotherhood.)
McCain was followed by a predictable limbo line -- how low can you go? -- of Republican bigwigs, elected and unelected, most of them singling out Bachmann for mockery after she had the temerity to suggest that some of America's enemies might be trying to infiltrate the government in order to affect foreign policy decisions. (Imagine that!)
McCain, John Boehner, et al., for all their (real or feigned) outrage over Bachmann's call for an investigation into the process of granting a security clearance to Hillary Clinton's deputy chief of staff, Huma Abedin, have offered no rational grounds for condemning the congresswoman's statements. In fact, they have thoroughly exaggerated and misrepresented the position presented in the letter at issue, which, with regard to Abedin, merely asks whether she was properly questioned regarding immediate family associations with an international organization dedicated to goals antithetical to U.S. interests.

I’m amazed and disgusted by the responses I receive from phone calls to Cong and Sen reps. Many aspects STINK about this whole thing, and it is an attack on women and Conservatives. Where is the outrage???
We have a moderate presidential nominee and the moderates of congress think they see their chance to get rid of the filthy conservatives.
The “moderates” are the true purists.
I think we are getting a pretty good idea now whose donation phone has been ringing, aren’t we?
WHY THE GOOD OLD BOYS ARE UPSET
Bachman asked the question in writing because she already knows the answer.
And she knows the Good Old Boys are part of the insider-favoritism problem.
They resent her thinking insiders should have to play by the rules.
And even more - resent her making it public.
Notice how republicans cover for Hillary and turn against a fellow republican for having the gall to question Hillary?
Shamnesty Brigade is more apropos.
Michelle Bachmann is a prophet without honor in her own country.

Research from 2007 - worth the read!
Add Marco Rubio the mini-McCain to the list. Hopefully Rubio will self destruct before he has another term in the Senate!
