"My suggestion is to ONLY donate to the Tea Party and let the GOPe know it. Maybe that way we can get some traction."

That's fine, but it's not enough. I think the Tea Party needs to leverage its inherent power. If people keep putting up with this cr-p and keep holding their noses in November, there is never going to be any change in the status quo. The GOP-e will simply view Tea Party members are push-overs.

Instead, play hard to get. Demand substantial concessions from them if they plan to get any support whatsoever from Tea Party members. We can't play nice anymore.

Yup. If conservatives bend over and take this in November, the GOP-e will know it has nothing to fear ever.
