The GOP establishment has HAD it with losing elections they should have won, because of far-right weirdo candidates with no general appeal. So the empire is fighting back.

One of the strategies, as reported in Politico, is to back moderate GOP candidates in primary races by flooding the zone with Super PAC money:

GOP SUPER PACS VS. THE TEA PARTY | POLITICO

The GOP Civil War is on!

They invited them in, so this what they asked for and deserved. This will be fun to watch.

The GOP started digging itself into a hole in the 90s by embracing the braindead religious right.

Mitt Romney.... Far Right? LOL McCain.... Far Right? oh you jest!

Rove did that to both Rand Paul and Ted Cruz.

Look how that turned out.




I bet they can primary Tea Party runners in New England and some of the west coast.

Glad to hear. Now the Teabaggers can finally test out their appeal to the masses, now that they've been cut off from their sugar daddies. As much as I hate the neoconservative GOP, the Teabaggers are even more virulent and repellent then the neocons.
