Call the people you worked so hard to get to DC and tell them what you think.

Disgusting.

They are putting Party ahead of principal, the very thing they were elected not to do.

I think the TeaParty is going to have to form a 3rd Party.

[sirchtruth]

It is getting very hard to fight for the republican party anymore. If these people are that rino scarred I do not want anything to do with them!

The fact the GOPe is about to nominate essentially what we ALL would consider a DEMOCRAT by far less standards is going to put many conservatives over the edge.

I'm getting sick of this Shinola!

“As soon as they get here, we need to co-opt them,” said former senator and current lobbyist, Trent Lott in 2010, referring to the new Tea Party Republicans ...

Why the hell is Charlie Bass RINO Extraordinaire from NH listed as Tea Party?
He is one of Mittens Main Street Republicans...Losers with an R designation.
OUT!... OUT! I say. In his case, it would be the second time for this greenie tree hugging snot.

I agree, although I also am willing to give our team a little leeway in the 6 months before a critical election. Some times it is better to keep your powder dry than fire with all barrels. Nothing worthwhile is going to go through this Senate until next year. It is not worth giving the media a whole lot of ammo to help paint our side as unwilling to compromise at this stage, because we’ll get nothing out of the effort.

[TomGuy]

Pubbies folding.

That doesn’t even make news.

They are sort of the ole scorpion and the frog fable: it is their nature; that’s what they do.

[cripplecreek]

Its easy to go on the offensive but the fact remains that we still have the pathetic leadership holding the reins on the “freshmen”. Freshmen operate under the threat of removal.

We’d be far more effective if we destroy the leadership structure and put all the congressmen on an equal footing with no more of this “freshman” crap.

[Tainan]

“nutless blunders”...more of all talk and no action.

[FES0844]

They get sucked in to that DC club. When you make friends with the opposing team, you lose.

[yldstrk]

doesn’t take long to let money and power go to your head. corrupted that’s what it is

[ThePatriotsFlag]

I think it's time for a public reprimand from the tea party aimed at those who deviate from our principles, but are there because of our support.Posting the votes (and scoring the "tea party candidates using the the tea party principles as the measruement) thus Keeping their "missed deeds" in public view and in their face... Might make them think twice about where their loyalty lies.

If we support the tea party, then we should see a MEASUREMENT of what that support means. The measurement is simple to do... So let's not wait for CATO... We should set up our own scoreboard NOW. As tea party leaders you and I should demand this from OUR national organization.

And if this doesn't happen and these people we supported are not doing the organization's bidding, then maybe we should consider this some kind if cover-up of the tea party's failure?

[armymarinemom]

I worry about the Tea Party. In the state of Maine the Tea Party either promotes gay marriage or Ron Paul. I have dropped the lot of them.

[Terry Mross]

The perks have to be outstanding, much more than we could imagine for these idealists to sell out so quickly.

I believe they’re told they can have anything they want. And a few of them are so dumb they think “anything” is a hot blond so they tell Boner that’s the price for their vote. Then they get caught. And that’s the only way we get rid of them.

[CatherineofAragon]

I hope Robert Hurt (VA) enjoyed my vote, because he will not get another one from me. We knew this guy was establishment, and we voted for his Tea Party opponent in the primary, but got him instead.

So it goes, but I’m done playing.

[mrsmith]

ere are the three votes that Conservatives should note:

Each an occasion when the Senate had shown it was ready to shut down part of the government if the bill wasn’t passed and passage was by Democrat majorities in the House.

(Yes, a terrible loss for us. But it took weeks of some of the greatest political pressures I’ve seen to accomplish it.)

The Tea Party freshmen did very well.

Dear Fellow Conservative, I'm reaching out to you today because I need your support to continue fighting in the U.S. House of Representatives
against President Obama's big government agenda. A major development has just occurred in my race for the U.S. House of Representatives and I'm asking for
your immediate help... ...You see, in retaliation for repeatedly standing up to President Obama on the national stage, liberal judges have redrawn the lines of
my Minnesota Congressional District to try and wipe me off of the political map once and for all. Their bias was so obvious they even gerrymandered...[My home]
