So all those obituaries for the TEA Party that we’ve been hearing from the commie libs in the state run “media” were premature? LOL! Chrissy and Special Ed are probably feeling something wet running down their leg. Sorry boys!

This is going to be sucha big upgrade over Christine Todd Hutchison!

UST as important as replacing Dems is upgrading Lugars and Hutchisons with true conservatives. Once we get critical mass, the remaining RINOs, some of them anyway, will fall into line lest they be targeted next. The fewer RINOs, the more we can focus our fire.
