“We go after democrats (either incumbents or otherwise”

Not really, Every serious teaparty challenge has been to a republican incumbent or for an open seat.

The one exception was Ron Johnson defeating Russ Feingold.

There have been zero teaparty victories in senate races against democrat incumbents except for that one and most people don’t even calll Johnson teaparty anymore.

Let me repeat, TEAPARTY (except for Ron Johnson) HAS ZERO VICTORIES OVER DEMOCRAT SENATE INCUMBENTS.

Getting rid of liberal republicans and replacing them with conservatives continues slowly, but steadily.

It's a good thing.

Do you even understand the concept that you need to nominate somebody before they run against a democrat??

That’s the difference between the Establishment and the Tea Party. We begin with the idea that we should nominate the most conservative person possible BECAUSE UNLIKE MODERATES, CONSERVATIVES GO AFTER DEMOCRATS.

The establishment begins with the idea of the democrat candidate and then looks around for some big name to beat them. I seem to recall the names Pete Hoekstra, Connie Mack, Carly Fiorina, Tommy Thompson, Denny Rehberg, Rick Berg, George Allen, Heather Wilson, Joseph Kyrillos.

Losers in 2012. All losers. The Tea Party has been around only since 2009. We’re learning and getting better candidates as time goes on. You guys have been at this for decades, and the Welfare State gravy train continues on WITH THE HELP OF THOSE YOU SUPPORT.

Because your sole goal is to get republicans elected, our goal is to turn back the tide of liberalism by electing those who will do that.

So, Defender of RINO Incumbents, does Mississippi have a Democrat Senate INCUMBENT to which you fear McDaniel will lose?

Are you being intentionally obtuse, or do you actually not understand the current situation?
