So what the establishment is looking for is yes men for {R} leadership even though they are wrong. This last debate about the fiscal cliff is a good example where the {D}s were handed the tax increases and the {R}s received nothing but a promise on spending cuts. The establishment is what is wrong with the {R} party because they have no principle or back bone what so ever.
If it was up to the establishment Rand Paul would not have a seat both McConnell and Coryn backed his opponent Greyson. And Paul was 1 of 3 {R}s who voted against the deal. As far as the Club for Growth the establishment should not worry they elected Toomey and he has been right behind the leadership on every vote.

right with the GOP. This deal enabled those earning 250k-449k to retain lower tax rates.
The Establishment has served America well for decades on end, by being sane enough to understand compromise has a different definition than capitulation.
I think a good first step is to do away with the Iowa Straw Poll's early dominance. It has proved to be nothing but a time consuming, costly, and inaccurate beauty contest. And the number of Republican primary debates was ridiculous. There may be a place for such debates, but they should happen much later, when strong front runners have emerged.
The fact is: If we intend to do away with our budget deficits and retain the level of government services we are all accustomed to, taxes will have to rise to some former level, period. The only fair tax increases are those that hurt all economic levels equally, period. The sooner conservatives reach that conclusion, the better it is.
It's exactly like needing to go to the dentist. Put it off and it will only hurt all the more.

I agree, and I'd prefer a one day, national primary voting day. The long process serves no useful purpose.
