The tea party movement in New Hampshire is claiming two scalps in a battle with the Republican establishment that reflects a broader civil war poised to escalate if GOP leaders of the House and Senate compromise with President Obama on key legislative issues, including immigration and Obamacare.
In the wake of Tuesday’s midterm elections, the New Hampshire tea party is drawing attention to the defeat of two GOP candidates the Republican Party establishment had backed heavily. In a wave election in which the GOP enjoyed historic gains, Walt Havenstein ran unsuccessfully against Democratic Gov. Maggie Hassan, and Scott Brown lost to sitting Democratic Sen. Jeanne Shaheen

I agree
The government is to serve WTP. As such WTP have the right to abolish the government. Either the elites listen to us or they will see results they don’t wish to see.
Yeah. We’re so wicked smaaht. We helped elect the commie Shaheen for another 6 years. Instead of that RINO Brown.
Idiots.
I know quite a few conservatives who didn't vote this election because of the RINOS being supported by the so called "republican party".
I held my nose and voted for Brown in the general election, but was not bothered by him losing.
The gun group info I get gives Shaheen a "D", Brown an "F".
In the primary, here in NH, unless you paid very close attention, you would have had no idea anyone was running against Brown.
There was an almost complete media blackout of any reporting on the conservative candidates.
Conservative goals can be lost if one gets Sheehan elected by wasting votes on a person with no real chance to win. While Brown might not be even 75-80% conservative, he is a hell of a lot more conservative then Sheehan.
You are welcome.
Look at the votes in a few states.
He was more conservative than most repubs up in that neck of the woods - he first got in due to being vocally against Obama Care. He was better than the alternative Dims but some folks forget that better is .....better than allowing a hard Lefty in if one can prevent it even via a wishy-washy righty.
Never said libertarians didn’t have the RIGHT not to vote for the republican. It’s not about their right. It’s about them being willing to have democrats elected in order to make their political “statement” by getting on the ballot. I still maintain they are drawing more votes from people who would otherwise vote for a repub if there were just two options. I also think Manness in Louisiana should have dropped out once it was clear he was not going to overtake Cassidy. THE most important thing now is to keep the socialist dems OUT of office.
Ignore us at your peril.
He only won because he went up against Martha Coakley, the ONE Democrat who cannot win in Massachusetts.
so gaining two more rat seats is a good thing?....idiotic....insane...I’m so glad I have never donated a penny to TP anything even though I love their msg, but I hate RAts more...
sometimes the idiocy is just astounding.....
the tea party is happy they elected someone who worked to investigate them and put them out of business?......
the jokes on you...what a laughing stock...
You don’t see the impact the TP has had on the rest of the party? A lot of the GOPs wins on Tuesday came courtesy of the TP, so there were a few losses, overall the TPs impact was a net positive for the GOP.
not true.
