Think Republicans have been making fools of themselves? Blame Michael Needham.

Link only to a very interesting article. Consider the source.

The article is not interesting at all. The author and Republicans are pissed because conservatives won’t be GOPe.

Comments on this article at the source are frightening. These are Republicans?

sort of the same rap as against Ted Cruz, right?

Glad to see that the left is so concerned about our internal issues......

Exactly. It’s a hit piece ,

They never mention Barrack HUSSEIN Obama flying around on our tax money shoving his crappy plan down our throats.
They think Obama should be the only voice heard.

“The New Republic” is Leftist.

The Heritage foundation does not control the Tea Party, no one does. They are the people who make GOPe office holders cringe.

The direction for the defund effort was not from one person at the Heritage Foundation.

This, in my opinion, is leftist propaganda against the Heritage Foundation and indirectly trying to dilute the effect of Jim Demint, whom I respect.

Emphasis mine - “Says a SENIOR HOUSE REPUBLICAN aide, “Mike Needham played a large role in defeating ideas that would have worked out better.””

That quote tells me Mr. Needham sounds like my kind of guy ;)
Consider the source indeed!

End the Rule of the Political Elite, regardless of their “party”.

Dear Lord, please share Your strength.

Vote the Rinos out!

The proper term is Progressive Republican.

It is very important to properly identify the enemy.

The biggest threat to the GOP is not Obama or the Democrats, it is the conservatives.

This is an effort to isolate an individual, to freeze him and take shots at him as a way of destroying him and his organization -

makes me wonder of McConnell put the author up to it.

That’s why I said, “Consider the source”. But, if you go there, there is some interesting information about the roots of the Heritage Foundation.
