“a plan is abreast to obliterate the Tea Party. The target of conservative wrath has been hit, with some regularity, now shocked and deeply wounded by the Cantor loss, leaving the Establishment very last gasp dangerous.”

Well said. The GOPe can launch a full-on assault against the Tea Party knowing that it has the liberal media and Chamber of Commerce squarely behind it.
IMHO the Tea Party is wasting its time trying operate within the Republican Party. The GOP has deeply intrenched interests with significant financial resources that are just too great to overcome. Those forces are and always will be proponents and beneficiaries of BIG GOVERNMENT. Attempting to take over or influence the party just isn’t going to happen.
Let me ask you, did you hear Lindsay Graham on Face the Nation (FTN)?
The man is convincing especially when one sentence out of the 100 establishment mantra statements bothers to mention “secure the border first”.
I am at a loss why Graham and everyone else in the Establishment doesn’t expand on “closing the border first”, rather than beating up the airways harranguing against the Tea Party for alienating the natural partners for conservatism—the Hispanic voter.
