Like I have said, the last thing the GOPe wants is to have to oppose Obama on amnesty.
Absolutely true.
The Rovians get big bucks from the Chamber of Commerce types as well as Wall Street.
The middle-class, at least what's left of us, if we have any $$, and its pennies on the dollar, are going to send our $$ to the Tea Party.
So then after our candidates lose being out spent and demonized by a compliant press, we're told you gotta vote GOP or those evil dimmies will get their way.
Hell, they get their way anyway because the Rovians want the same damn thing the dimmies do---spend, spend spend!
I have never thought that a 3rd party was a viable option; but now it's the only option.
