Now would be a good time for Boehner to saddle his and depart.
The loss by Cantor will have the net effect of re invigorating the TEA Party.
TEA Party members are a diverse, loosely knit group of Americans who are America’s last bastion of citizens who ascribe to Americas traditional values of personal and fiscal responsibility
They have been beaten down and demoralized by both the Obama Administrations attacks and abuse of the IRS and by attacks from the Republican Party leadership and the Republicans flat refusal to effectively use the massive Republican gains they gave in 2010.
Many have given up on politics.
That may just have changed.
Cathy McMorris Rodgers is no conservative.
‘Pod.
Can I have the GOP Leadership scramble with OJ and a side of toast.
Cathy McMorris Rodgers is a member of the Republican Main Street Partnership whose stated goal is to destroy conservative, Tea Party-aligned candidates.
I am one of them...
I left my local tea party group because it became a “circle jerk” where everyone sat around and talked about the “bad” stuff in government but really had to plan to get from A to Z...
The tea “party” is going to have to be that... A party that identifies, vets and FINANCIALLY supports A (ONE) candidate to beat the incumbent ...
They were not nearly as radical as I was... lol
I am uncertain if this will draw me back in...
I wish Sugarland would put up Tom DeLay. I’d like him as speaker of the House.
Can’t think of one Republican is a leadership position I’d keep given a choice.
Cantor, Boehner, McConnel?
What a bunch of worthless tax and spend LOSERs.
Dems pick their leaders from deep blue districts - which is appropriate. We pug forth moderates from swing districts instead of red districts. The squish party!
People eyes will improve when looking at her or Nancy
The Rhino’s and the Tea Party better get the crap together or they will lose the senate and the house. Demodummies are stacking the deck against them once again and the “repubs” don’t seem to see the forest for the trees.
Do you still think we are not getting the votes to secede on June 12, 2018?
How would a far left Dem party website know a thing about the Gop?
Leftico hates the Gop.
“But the California Republican likely will be challenged by a member of the conservative wing of the House GOP Conference, potentially including Reps. . . . Cathy McMorris Rodgers of Washington.”
What’s this Polutico writer been smoking? McMorris/Rodgers is conservative just like Barney Frank is straight.
But nary a word for the WINNER of the Republican primary.
Boner is SLIME.
"The tea “party” is going to have to be that... A party that identifies, vets and FINANCIALLY supports A (ONE) candidate to beat the incumbent …”
I think we are better off if we leave the ‘Tea Party’ as a set of ideals instead of as an actual political entity or affiliation. If tea party comes to mean ideas and methods of reducing government and strengthening individual freedoms, then it will be a lot harder for it to become the tool of monied interests, nor will it become part of the establishment. Both of which are the antithesis of what tea party is.
When Tea Party (caps intentional) plays at being an actual political entity it is subject to the same rules and influences as the rest of establishment politics, and subject as well to insurgencies.
I could not agree more.
That's what it "is" in my opinion. You really don't join a party, it's a grassroots group who share small government and more freedom "ideals" basically.
I like the underground guerrilla conspiracy type relationship to the establishment for the tea party. Really hard to do battle against a thought process.
