So who wants to join Rand Paul's "tea-party" caucus?
"I don't know about that," Sen. Bob Corker (R-Tenn.) replied with a nervous laugh. "I'm not sure I should be participating in this story."
Republican lawmakers see plenty of good in the tea party, but they also see reasons to worry. The movement, which has ignited passion among conservative voters and pushed big government to the forefront of the 2010 election debate, has also stirred quite a bit of controversy. Voters who don't want to privatize Social Security or withdraw from the United Nations could begin to see the tea party and the Republican Party as one and the same.

In six states -- Kentucky, Nevada, Florida, Utah, Colorado and Minnesota -- tea-party-backed Republican Senate candidates have won nomination or are favored in upcoming primaries.

Yet some Republicans worry that tea-party candidates are settling too comfortably into their roles as unruly insurgents and could prove hard to manage if they get elected. Paul, who beat GOP establishment favorite Trey Grayson in Kentucky's primary, told the National Review that he would seek to join forces with GOP Sens. Jim DeMint (S.C.) and Tom Coburn (Okla.), "who are unafraid to stand up" and who have blocked numerous bills advanced by both parties deemed by the pair as expanding government.

Former Senate majority leader Trent Lott (R-Miss.), now a D.C. lobbyist, warned that a robust bloc of rabble-rousers spells further Senate dysfunction. "We don't need a lot of Jim DeMint disciples," Lott said in an interview. "As soon as they get here, we need to co-opt them."

What an arrogant, insolent RINO clown!
Lott makes me want to reinstate time in the public stocks on The Mall as a special form of punishment for establishment politicos.
Lott is a RINO POS.
Lotts a luck.
Whose "we"?
Lott doesn't represent anyone but whatever companies he's pimping.
Keep your hands off our reps, Trent.
Don’t worry. It will be the opposite. The new conservative members will co-opt the Republican Party and get rid of the rinos. The Tea Party Movement is not the flash in the pan the establishment hopes they are.
Rand and Ron Paul have nothing to do with the Tea Party movement.
Trent Lott - STFU ya baby powdered butt jack wagon!
We need a LOT of Jim DeMint disciples...
Tell Trent to STFU!
The California Republican Party did exactly that with the recall of Democrat Gov. Davis.
After months of ridiculing the effort of thousands of citizens and supporting the Democrat governor the Republicans realized that the recall election was going to happen -- they immediately elbowed the thousands of citizen volunteers aside and claimed ownership of the recall effort.
.. and all we got was this lousy Schwarzenkennedy.
As soon as they get there they are going to tell people like you “TL” and the good ole boy network to STFU and sit down because you have almost destroyed the country you idiots!Heads need to roll in NOV.and people are totally pissed.
Who is Lott lobbying for, isn’t that what’s been going on in the Republican Party. Send good people to DC and we will coopt them into the Corrupt combine that goes along with the staged votes to destroy the Constitution and to make it appear they are in opposition to the leftists but when push comes to shove they cave like the Graham’s, Snowe’s, Collins, etc.
Those who don’t go along get investigated or left hung out to dry in political fights by the leadership.
Club for Growth slams Trent Lott

“Former Senate majority leader Trent Lott (R-Miss.)”
Former, yep I like the sound of that. What we need here is a lot more “Formers”.
Did the RINO scum go into any details about who “we” are, and what the process of “co-opt” means.
All former RINOs should be in prison for treason and fraud. They are fundamentally dishonest Huckster.
“Corporate lobbyist Trent Lott is apparently afraid Congress’s incoming freshman class will put an end to the earmarks, handouts, and bailouts that make him rich,” Chocola said. “He should be. Real economic conservative reform, like that advocated by the Club for Growth and the Tea Parties, will put the K Street favor factory out of business.”
“The way forward for a lasting and deserving Republican majority is to embrace the pro-growth, fiscal conservative principles of limited government, free enterprise, and individual responsibility, and reject the self-serving counsel of lobbyists for the big government status quo.”
Chocola also answered Lott’s concern that incoming freshmen might follow the lead of pro-growth, limited government conservatives like Jim DeMint. “To paraphrase the former Leader himself, if recent Senates had had more Jim DeMints and fewer Trent Lotts making economic policy, ‘we wouldn’t have had all these problems over all these years’,” Chocola said.
The lobbying firm owned by former Republican U.S. Sen. Trent Lott and former Democratic Louisiana U.S. Sen. John Breaux will be sold to a high-powered firm with a South Mississippi connection.
Patton Boggs LLP announced Friday it was acquiring the Breaux-Lott Leadership Group lobbying firm and Lott and Breaux would join the firm as special senior counsel, working with their sons, John Breaux Jr. and Chester Trent Lott Jr. Other Breaux-Lott staff would also join Patton Boggs, a company for which Thomas Hale Boggs Jr. serves as chairman. Boggs’ father, Thomas Hale Boggs, was born in Long Beach and represented Louisiana in Congress until he was presumed dead in a 1972 plane crash in Alaska.
A news release from Patton Boggs said Lott brings “sharp leadership skills and a special understanding of complex congressional procedures” after representing Mississippi in Congress for 35 years. Lott will focus on defense, taxes, financial services, energy, transportation, communications and other areas.
In 2008 he and John Breaux founded the Breaux-Lott Leadership Group.
Chevron, Shell, Northrop Grumman, FedEx, Tyson Foods and General Electric, most of which have ties to Mississippi or Louisiana, are among the companies Breaux-Lott represented.
