Tea party leaders threaten primary challenges to Republicans supporting immigration bill

A prominent tea party organization is signaling to Republican legislators that they could face primary challenges if they support the comprehensive immigration overhaul being voted on in Congress this week.

“Sixty-four percent of our local coordinators predict primary challengers for those who vote ‘Yes’ on the amnesty bill,” said Jenny Beth Martin, the national coordinator for Tea Party Patriots.

The apparent threat to pro-immigration reform Republicans comes as the Senate appears poised to pass the legislation authored by the Gang of Eight this week.

Good!

We had a few "Flakes" slip in on the Tea Party wave, last time, but if "Ayotte" of thought goes in to this plan we should be able to come up with strong, true conservative challengers. Paging Allen West, etc.

From those of us who live in Socialist States (California), these RINOs should know that we CAN AND DO send financial support to Conservatives in other states.

Actually I think those RINOs just get on networks shows and bow-wow because they figure that story is about done and it gives them cover to give Obama his major 2nd term legacy idea immigration, which dioes actually matter.

As for the story above please start with Grahamnesty

Some of those who will vote for Amnesty need to be removed from office as soon as possible.

McCain, Graham, Hatch, Rubio, Flake.

Agree completely. They have sold their souls to the devil.

It doesn’t matter. The presidential election isn’t the only one with voter fraud. I’ve never been more convinced that our votes don’t count. Even at the state level.

That’s why there are always a bunch of rinos in office. They’re put there by the “powers that be” and stay there as long as they follow orders. And they become wealth, or wealthier, while doing it.

For those who think I need some tin foil ask yourself this: Do people who have believed since day one that the government was spying of FB need tin foil?

Tea party leaders threaten PROMISE primary challenges to Republicans supporting immigration bill.

Actions speak louder than words ... TP needs to DO it, without fail, to those who betray America and vote 'yes' on the bill.

Yep, not sure of the number outside of Mr. Cruz, I know there a few other good ones, but I am not very familiar with them.

But if I consider the GOP as a whole, I cannot accept their treachery any longer. They are not for me, and I am not for them. It is just that simple.

I really can’t think of anything this country is doing that I support anymore. Nothing.

People on FR who remain resolute fanboys of the Dem Lite party should remember where they are. I remember some guy saying FR is not and never will be a GOP site.

As far as I’m concerned anyone still supporting the GOP as a whole is as much a problem as the dems. Actually worse as they are SUPPOSED to be the opposition. I can only hope the few good people remaining in the party wise up and abandon it before they help it do anymore damage.

Yep. I know I make some people mad around here when I say things about the GOP as I do.

I can’t help it though. I can’t tolerate being lied to and conned. I cannot do anything else other than call it like I see it.

It makes no difference which party wields power when both parties wield that power to achieve the same end.

They are both the same enemy of freedom.

“Some of those who will vote for Amnesty need to be removed from office as soon as possible.”

I heard yesterday that McCain and the other senator from Arizona, may face a recall election as people in Arizona are trying to get that underway. Texas doesn’t have a recall law, I guess Arizona does.

Wouldn’t that be a hoot if both of them lost on a recall election.
