It is time to get rid of the Tea Party.
They are an embarrassment. Worse, they are collaborating with Democrats to bring down Republicans and make it easier for Democrats to win general elections.
There was a story in yesterday’s Politico that pretty much laid in on the line:
“Tea party activists looking to oust Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell in a GOP primary may get some help from an unlikely source: Democrats. Big Democratic donors, local liberal activists and a left-leaning super PAC in Kentucky are telling tea partiers that they are poised to throw financial and organizational support behind a right-wing candidate should one try to defeat the powerful GOP leader in a 2014 primary fight.”
This should come as no surprise.
The Tea Party has been a fifth column within the Republican Party, blowing up bridges, sabotaging supply lines, creating false controversies, wasting valuable party resources, and generally making it easier for Senate Democrats and Barack Obama to stay in power.
The Tea Party worked with Democrats to nominate Sharron Angle to run against Harry Reid. Reid had only once chance to win reelection, his popularity ratings being so low. And that was if the Republicans nominated Sharron Angle. He made sure that they did by funneling funds to her primary campaign.
The Tea Party worked with Democrats to nominate Christine O’Donnell. There was only one way that Mike Castle was not going to be elected to the Senate, and that was if he lost in a primary.
The Tea Party wanted Ken Buck. And guess who the Democrats wanted to win in Colorado. Ken Buck. Guess which side now controls that Colorado Senate seat? The Democrats.

Shooting their own party candidates in the back is what RINO’s do best
I don’t see that in the comments. Maybe it was censored or is still in moderation?
They have become disengaged with the base and latched onto lobbyists and the Chamber of Cronies instead.
They probably deleted it. Truth hurts.
Oh yeah.
It’s ok when they win at all costs using democrats.
Liberal projection from the author.
We have another 'projection' situation, where the perp accuses the victim of doing, what he himself is doing. This is a patented Demorat trick. I think Scalise's pal is mistaking the Tea Party for the GOP establishment RINOd. It was Thad Cochran, who's strategy was to throw racial accusations around and pay walking around money to get out the Black Democrats in Mississippi.
These RINO's are indistinguishable from Democrats. So, if Lamar!, Grahamnesty and Collins get re-elected to office, how would that be different from election Democrats as far as policy is concerned?
Your comment brings this to mind.
The Republican Establishment claim to want conservatism but are then shocked and offended that voters actually want this.
Gee...
I thought the Tea Party movement was long dead and no longer relevant. I’ve been told that was the case a number of times by the MSM.
My, my, my.
The Tea Party is why the GOP controls the House.
Excellent point!
Claire McCaskill wanted Todd Akin to win the Republican primary in Missouri. So did the Tea Party.
I am sick and tired of this falsehood being repeated about the 2012 MO Republican primary. The Tea Party backed Sarah Steeleman, not Todd Akin. Akin's support base was evangelical Christians and Republicans who supported him as a US House Representative.

What percent of RINOS and “moderate” Republicans were registered Democrats from 1980-1988?
As Democrats moved into the GOP offices, Communists/Greens/Workers World supporters moved into the DNC.
We must not ignore the fact that they are right about somethings.
Democrats have very skillfully played us both against one anther with money in order to insure the lease electable won the primary.
We must at least on our part be more vigilant against such manipulation, and always remember Politics is the art of the Possible. Rino’s may forget this as well as the need to make meaningful changes rather than just win power but we cannot afford either.
