This is just an example of how fast the Tea Party will turn on one of their own. Allen West was held up as a shining example of Tea Party "diversity". Now they want to run him out of Congress.

The Tea Party is like the Mafia. If you don't toe the line 100% they will get rid of you. There is no compromise, or pragmatism, just ideology. The Tea Party is America's version of Mao's Red Guard.

The late, great comedian Bill Hicks used to speak of a possible new political party called the "People Who Hate People" party.

I think that we now actually have that except it is called the Tea Party instead.

More people on the Right need to stand up to the Tea Party mob, enough is enough. Are we all to be thrown into penury because of their interagency?

Mob? Really? What about the liberal mob that crammed through Obamacare? That's spending us into bankruptcy? That's crushing job growth? Turning a blind eye to gunrunning?

Wow, with all the hatred and attacks leveled at the Tea Party today, I'd say libs are a little scared.

It's rediculous, isn't it? the tea party reminds me of the Jacobins during the French Revolution. They were the ones who guillotined anyone who even slightly deviated from the party line. Eventually their own leader--Robespierre--was killed due to his fanaticism.

Of course, the tea party won't execute people, but their eagerness to turn on one another is simply astounding. It's unsustainable in the long run. And if they destroy themselves...well...that's just fine by me.
