Today, the Tea Party Will Get Another Big Win
Principles & Policy ^ | July 31st, 2012

Posted on 07/31/2012 8:51:59 AM PDT by Sark

Since bursting on to the national political scene a few years ago, the Tea Party has achieved a great deal. In 2010, the Tea Party took the House of Representatives and dealt a serious blow to the huge Democratic majority in the Senate. This year, the Tea Party will try to finish the job and to take the Senate.

So far, Operation Hostile Takeover has been met with much success. Longtime moderate and deal maker Senator Dick Lugar (R-IN) was crushed by Richard Mourdock in a May primary. Just a couple of months before the primary, media pundits were smirking at the idea of a Mourdock victory, dismissing it out-of-hand. They assured viewers that Senator Lugar was an institution in the Hoosier state. They were certain that the Tea Party had withered on the vine after 2010. They were wrong.

No Balls Boner needs to be targeted for removal. Among others.

Bonehead must be removed from his NON-Leaderhip post, at the very minimum. Then throw him to wolves.

If Cruz wins today in Texas, it will provide a tested road
map to oust even the most entrenched RINO’s such as Bonehead
and McConnell.

First and foremost, offer up a credible candidate.
Get the help of conservative Superpacs to provide as close
to a level playing field as possible in terms of money.
Then get the Tea-Party Super stars to endorse you and campaign for you... a winning formula!

Has anybody else noticed that GOPe’s Senators in DC have
not utered a word in support of Dewpiss?
A lot of these hacks ran their mouths in the Crist race.

Record early voting turnout for a runoff.

LONG lines at polling places all over Texas today.

Not looking good for the establishment at all!

A lot of posters will say a large turn-out bodes well for Dewpiss.

However, Indiana had a huge turn-out as well.
That did not work to Lugar’s advantage either.
In fact, it was the difference between Lugar getting beat.
And Lugar getting steamrolled

And they would be WRONG!

Things are NOT what they once were!

Ditto that ... he has to go ... here are our choices in the Keys:

All RINO Florida House District 120 Candidates square off at forum

Republican pledges support for medical marijuana, reproductive choice

The two candidates vying for the Florida House District 120 seat took turns Monday night espousing support for gay rights, including the right to marry and adopt babies.
