..."IMO, the establishment has decided that the time has come for the RINO's to cut us (Tea Party) loose, and go for different votes, just like Obama cut loose the middle class vote in the last election, and still won. The establishment is clueless and sorely mistaken. They will not get the black or Hispanic vote in numbers that matter. Their jobs are the most important thing to them, and if the Tea Party wants them replaced, the TP must go.
This is the direction that the opposition will take. Political war, with no strings attached. The RINO's will join the Dems against us. The stage was set with the words "terrorists, jihadists, bomb throwers, anarchists, hostage takers, baby killers, etc etc")
Dem Rep. Steve Cohen: Tea Party Republicans Are 'Domestic Enemies' We Took Oath To Defend Against
The GOP panicked in its showdown with Obama Inc. over a fear of losing “moderate” voters. It has once again chosen to stand for nothing out of fear of standing for something that people don’t like.
How is that working out as a strategy? Badly.
In New Jersey, Cory Booker was the anointed candidate. He was unstoppable. The Obama of the Garden State. No one was even supposed to run against him.
And his opponent, Steve Lonegan, did all the things that he wasn’t supposed to do. He campaigned with Sarah Palin. Come on? Bringing Sarah Palin to a state where you can see Manhattan from your house? Crazy.
And he did it all while the media was running a national hate campaign comparing Cruz and the Tea Party to the new (Latino) Confederacy.
How did it work out? Not too badly.
Democrat Cory Booker underperformed his showing in almost all the polls, and wound up winning by only 10.3 points. By contrast, Obama won New Jersey by 18 points just last November.At the same time, Democratic senator Robert Menendez cruised to a 19-point victory over a veteran moderate Republican state senator…
Counterpoint: RINO Christie is leading by 18 points. Maybe if Booker's opponent had played RINO he might have won. Lie to get elected. Worked for Obama.
Thomas Sowell: There are no solutions, just trade-offs.
