McConnell made it clear he would work against anyone who gave or took money from TEA party groups.

The RINOs have so many knives in my back they never held their fire.

Tokyo Rove got out raised by the tea party. Stuff his whiteboard up his smelly Soetoro hole and snap it. Stick a fork in the GOPe swine.

We should remind this anti Tea Party that they are against the American people. What damn fools. Lets work hard to dump these nitwits.

Tea party members did not shut down the government. You can thank Obama for that.

Karl Rove’s Crossroads provides office space to American Action Network, American Action Forum and the Hispanic Leadership Network - all Amnesty promoting groups tied in with Jeb “el Heffe” Bush and Zuckerberg.

More about the den of Amnesty loving RINOs and their groups: http://freerepublic.com/~ray76/

Well, if they’re too afraid to take a stand in Congress, wouldn’t it make sense that they would also run from an interparty fight?

Steve King dropped out so he could fight amnesty and troll Trey Gowdy.

The GOP rank and file are using talking points from Steve King 2013.

“...after tea-party members shut down the government in October.”

Don’t need to read any further. Still selling this snake-oil is sufficient to cast doubt on anything else in the article.

Election wise, I don't think the Tea Party will inflict serious damage on the RINO wing of the GOP.

But, the GOP leadership has inflicted massive damage on Conservatives, and that will have a conspicuous impact on GOP contributions, volunteers, and voter turn out.

What's changed since 2012?

Well, the Democrats have registered another 1 million new immigrant Socialists.

And, Conservatives have lost another couple hundred thousand voters because of the birth-death imbalance.

Voter turn out is the key.

If Blacks, Hispanics, immigrants, and poor whites turn out at the same rate as white Conservatives, we will gain nothing in the Senate, and we will lose seats in the House.

The vast majority of Republican voters are not nearly as informed as the average Freeper.

It will be very difficult to defeat any GOPe RINO in the primaries. I hope that they will all be flushed, but I am not holding my breath.

It would be so nice for Bevin to crush the anti-Constitutional anti-Tea Party wimp known as McConnell.

They're not holding fire. They are just not responding.

That has worked for them for so long, why would they change tactics?

Confucius said, “The man who moves a mountain begins by carrying away small stones.”

Freepers and the Tea Party have been carrying away small stones for the better part of four years, despite the most ardent efforts of GOPe and the Beltway Establishment.

As should conservative Republicans (if there are any), libertarians and the American people in general.

Put them in disarray and let them try to run away from the facts.
