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 Tuesdays 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

Let this be a lesson to all Republicans, we brought you in, we can take you out, your choice.
Havenstein seems like a particularly nasty creature. Who’s teabagging now Walt?
Bingo.
Now go fight the bastards in the PRIMARIES and in the Committee seats where it makes a real difference.
I'm conservative, not Republican.

It’s “penny wise and pound foolish” not to participate in local Republican organizations.
By the time a liberal Republican is running in the general you’re screwed no matter what.
Don’t forget that you tore down the Berlin Wall and won World War II. Sheesh, maybe you’ll claim you are helping Begich with his recount.
You nor the tea party brought the Republican party in nor started it. Look what you did in NH. You got Sheehan elected. Look at a bunch more crap across the country the Tea Party did like VA, too. I refuse to play their kids game. The libertarians that ran without a snow balls chance in hell cost seats. Libertarians used to have a philosophy -let me do my thing, and; I don’t care what you or others do. It is like let me do as I want-no rules. Sorry we all have rules.
If they elected that evil moron leftist Shaheen, they should rot in hell.
I first thought Scott Brown was a conservative. But, it turns out he is just a democrapper control freak. There should be law suits against him for fraud. Take him down and make a lesson of it!
better teabagger than teabaggee.
Remind me again who, two days after a national election that reputiated big government is advocating immigration reform and an internet tax...?
Hint: It wasn’t the Rats!
You do know this is a CONSERVATIVE site, not a REPUBLICAN one?
I wanted to see Brown win because of his strong use of the immigration issue. But I also remember him as a RINO puke the first time around, backing the repeal of Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell, for ex.
If we wanted Democrats we would have elected Democrats.
The voters ain’t stupid. If a liberal Republican offers the same stuff as a Democrat, I’d rater vote for the real deal.
I don’t want the GOP to cut deals with Obama.
SOMETIMES you have to make a realistic choice between an evil, Marxist, tyrannical, anti-constitutional, traitorous, bottom-feeding, pot-smoking, racist, pueril narcissistic, egotistical, sociopath masquerading as a President, and a less than optimal, occasionally pusillanimous, alternative who nevertheless is right on most issues.
And THANK GOD most Americans made the right choice.
There were a lot of Tea Party types that HELD THEIR NOSES and still voted for Establishment figures, like McConnell, Cockran, etc. In other words, the Tea Party DID NOT sit out the election when their people weren’t on the ballot.
On the other hand, there are LIMITS to how much crap we’ll take...in the case of these clowns, one calling us “teabaggers” and another not willing to even support the Second Amendment - then yes, we WILL draw the line, as they learned to their demise. And the sad thing, for all involved, is that it would have been VERY EASY for both to get Tea Party support, just by showing us some respect and joining us on a few issues.
Thank you.
Walt was recent CEO of SAIC.
