Anyone who expected every Tea Party congressman to stay true to our ideals was an ignorant, political juvenile.
This is a looooong process where we will keep weeding out the inferior politicians in favor of new blood, even if those inferior politicians ran under the Tea Party banner.
The only goal of this story is to depress and destroy the Tea Party.

Yes, the Tea Party consistently came up 20 to 40 votes short when the heat was on.
The lesson they don’t want us to learn is to get 20 to 40 more Tea Party congressmen!
Then the Senate RINO and Dems can play all the tricks they want and it’ll do them no good.
I think the goal of this story is to remind conservatives that the work of reshaping government is difficult and is going to take time. I'm not discouraged by this even though my Tea Party frosh only checked in at 57% (Cravaack).
Both the major party candidates will make this process immeasurably more difficult, but I look at it like an employer who is giving a job review. I need hard data, and this is it.
