Yes indeed, You FIGHT the good fight. The rest of us are moving on to the next battlefield where we will work to destroy the Rats and the Weasels (Democrats and Republicans)
++++
We have the House. Would we be better off if it were under Dem control? I don’t think so.
You need to think your battlefield scenario through. Just how will you manage to actually destroy the Rats and Weasels. I would like to do that as well but I see nothing short of armed revolution that would accomplish it in the short term.
What really is the strategy? I don’t get it. Teaching the GOPe some lessons is not a strategy. They will not get the lesson. They will not change their ways. They have to be replaced. And like it or not electing more Democrats by staying home this November will only move us further from that goal.

What do you mean by “they will not get the lesson”? I may not like the GOPe, but I don’t think they are stupid, and I still believe that, just like other human beings, they react to incentives. What is the strategy? The ultimate goal is unity-whoever wins the primary is supported by a broad coalition on the right, whether the tea party or the GOPe wins the primary. The only way to do this is to not allow the GOPe to feel that the type of divisive tactics employed in Mississippi will be rewarded. If they lose that Senate seat (and maybe even other RINO senate seats) because of what they did in Mississippi, they will not even think of pulling this crap again. So even though we may lose a Senate seat in the short-run, it’s worth it for the long run if the GOPe stops taking tea party votes for granted.
Ever since the black vote has been automatically Democrat, the Democrat Party policies have been more and more damaging to blacks (amnesty, increase in the minimum wage, protecting teachers unions against school choice, etc.). We in the tea party will not make that mistake.

WRONG!
Conservatives just showed how it is done with respect to border control in the House! And we need to do it over and over and over again until the GOP establishment stands down.
The GOP leadership is ready now and will be ready after November to go along with the democrats. The only thing stopping them are conservatives in the House and Senate, conservatives in the media and the grass roots melting down the Capitol Hill phone lines.
IT WILL DO ABSOLUTELY NO GOOD TO HOLD YOUR NOSE AND VOTE FOR THE DEMOCRAT THAT WEARS AN ‘R’ BY THEIR NAME!

When you’re in a battle do you really want to shoot your own soldiers in the back? So whose side are your GOPe on? We all know the answer.
