Stunned GOP Establishment Vows 'No More Surprises' from Tea Party in 2014
Breitbart ^ | June 11, 2014 | Matthew Boyle

One day before Majority Leader Eric Cantor's historic primary loss, the Wall Street Journal reported: “Immigration's Primary Effect Muted.” One day after, the newspaper is reporting nothing like the shocking upset will happen again. “Those senators have been preparing for months and months for whatever might come their way and they won’t be caught off guard,” Brian Walsh, a paid consultant of the National Republican Senatorial Committee told the Journal for a piece headlined “GOP Establishment: No More Surprises Coming.”

” Tennessee Sen. Lamar Alexander was vulnerable on his right flank, he aired a television ad with friendly cameo by Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul...”

Now with Rand coming out for OPEN BORDERS, I see the possibility of some very effective TV spots.

THERE IS NO TEA PARTY POLITICAL PARTY. NEVER HAS BEEN. What you have a re a few “national” organizations trying to glob onto the mantle for their own sheister ends.

There in, lies the problem. Like I said on another thread, until this movement organizes, coalesces, and consolidates, the GOP(e) will not take us seriously.

Yep, looks like Rand has jumped the shark. I think it is “all in” time for Cruz by all Freepers.

"The reality is that somewhere around 50% more turned out for this primary than they did for the 2012."

That's the part no being talked about - I'm hoping A LOT of RATs get washed out with the tide in November ...

At least here they have no control. Here they can and should be exposed for their actions and speeches. Good and bad
There are a lot of primary voters who come here for information.
That’s the power
You can’t buy that

wouldnt it be nice if these GOPe dumbasses would spend as much effort and energy fighting the marxocRATS that are trying to destroy America as they do conservatives ? does anyone wonder why they don’t ?

I also wonder why they spend millions to make $175,000 per year, LEGALLY.

The Aristocracy works to protect itself from the Democracy.

This message has to go out to the people.

Any Tea Party organization has simply co-opted the name. I honestly wish we could call ourselves something else but guess we’re stuck with it. I’d rather be called Patriots or something anyway but like I said, stuck with it.

“The arrogance of these guys is beyond belief.”

Exactly! It rates right up there with Obama and his elitist crowd. Must be the air quality in DC not getting enough oxygen to their brain.

This is a one party system now. Wake up folks. Do you prefer cancer or a heat attack? It ends the same.

“So for you to say that the Tea Party is this monolithic national political party, by your definition, you could not be more wrong, because they never came calling on Mr. Brat, even when his campaign called on them.”

I never said anything of the sort and I disagree with the second half of your sentence which doesn’t even make sense to me, linguistically. But it’s of zero importance.

I think Brat needs to do an “intensive” with Levin. Totally serious! They both live in VA...they need to have some lunch dates and talk in depth. I think that would do him a world of good. IMO Levin was instrumental if not pivotal in getting his underfunded name out.

Levin would have told him to keep his face and mouth off MSNBC, that’s for sure. I think Levin could give him some awesome insights into government, how things work, etc; etc;

It would be a mistake, IMO, for Brat not to avail himself of Levin and somehow I know they will hook up. They’ll do lunch!
