Well, I see two problems:
First, the Dems are scheming to get the Tea Party into a hissy-fight with the “country-club” Republicans so the Dems can retain control of the Senate in 2014 and maybe even retake control of the House.
Divide and conquer, right! Works every time!
All it takes is for the Tea Party and the GOP to waste themselves FIGHTING ONE ANOTHER! The phrase “stupid party” quickly comes to mind.
And so we have in Alaska maybe four Republican challengers trying to smear one another so that a WEAK Democrat can be re-elected Senator.
And in South Carolina, we have three “conservatives” trying to turn one another into “road-kill”. Of course, Senator Graham is smiling. If the “conservatives” destroy one another, Graham will keep his seat!
Second, I think the Dems really, REALLY want the Tea Party to use the current budget process to try to de-fund ObamaCare -— BEFORE winning control of the Senate.
Then, the Dems can stop mailing out Social Security checks, stop military paychecks, shut-down air travel and do any other other dirty trick they can imagine while placing all the blame for these bounced checks and other failures to perform on the Tea Party Republicans.
Illegal? Of course? Unfair? Of course! Do Dems care? No!
THEN, the 2014 election will be a landslide victory for the Dems. Afterwards, the GOP AND the Tea Party will not be able to block any attack on our Constitution that the Dems think up. Our two NEW Supreme Court Justices, Janet Napolitano and Hillary Clinton will see to that.
Higher taxes? Count on them!
Gun Control? Of course!
Voter fraud? Would never be found among Dems, would it?
Before talking tough, please consider Dirty Harry’s advice: “You’ve got to know your limitations...
Tell that to the GOPe. They’ve been trashing the Tea Party for years. Whenever one of ours wins a Primary (NV, AK to name two. Oh, and DE too. Almost forgot the one they called a witch), the rat-bastard GOPe stabs them in the back by yanking all the campaign funding. The Tea Party candidates don’t do that when they lose. The ill-will is on their side, not ours.
As for the SC Primary, you should be reminded there will be a runoff required if Lindsey-girl can’t get 50%, and the more opponents he has, the better.
