"The Tea Party didn’t take control of the GOP when Ben Sasse won the Nebraska primary last week"... The article pegs it in part, in noting that the Tea Party now fully owns the Republican party VOTERS mind, body and spirit. That doesn't mean the business focused national socialists from the Chamber of Commerce will gladly surrender their RINO supporters to the trend, or that they will quit lobbying for increased corporate welfare instead of a restoration of a free market in which free market competition, and not government subsidies enabled by their elected cronies, determines who succeeds and who does not. The media, of course, WANT to be able to declare the Tea Party dead and dying... resulting in a proliferation of the repetitive "Tea Party is still dead" type "news" articles. Still, beyond the obvious that is being missed requiring that the media should be ignored... since their opinions don't alter ours anyway ? It's also not only that the "mainstream" of the party have had to become Republicans again in order to compete... In this primary cycle, how many elected incumbent Tea Party candidates were unseated by RINOs ? "The Tea Party didn’t take control of the GOP when Ben Sasse won the Nebraska primary last week"... but it did win an important contest that operates to EXTEND its influence... The Tea Party's revolutionary tide... is still coming in... not ebbing. The media will never get it... but, other issues are apparent, too... which reveal that the Tea Party, unlike the other political parties and their factions... are not tolerant of screw-ups just because they brandish the brand. The Tea Party (or, Tea Party focused voters, at least) have quickly abandoned their own candidates in favor of "quality" when those who do show up supporting the brand have proved themselves problematic... Democrats, of course... will accept even felons as long as they're advocating the party line. Republicans, too often... will accept as members those RINOs who are obvious plants from the other party. How much should you care that a few grandees of the old guard will manage to hang on for another cycle or two... before time will inevitably manage to perform for them what the Tea Party hasn't accomplished, yet ? RINO's are not a growing brand... with a broad ideological appeal that can sustain them as champions with a core cadres of voters... at a time when the Republican's real ability to win what they want... is being obstructed by the RINO's and not Democrats. And, the trend is not just one occurring within the base of the Republican party. It's the economy, stupid ? Remember... people tend to vote their pocketbooks... and there aren't many meaningful additions occurring in the "socialism is the solution" Chamber Membership camp, these days ?

Here, Ann Coulter addresses the issue... pointing out that the Chamber of Commerce RINO's have the $ support... and they are outspending the Tea Party conservatives by a margin of 10 : 1 But, given that wide margin in the $ spent, the two factors that matter most, in that context... First is that the huge difference in the $ being spent still doesn't have them running that far ahead. They are having to spend ten times as much... to poll roughly even with Tea Party candidates who are running on their ideas, and not on their fund raising from sources who demand future votes against the party. Second, while spending that dirty money and running as RINO/Chamber candidates... they are also CLAIMING to be OPPOSED to amnesty... which clearly is the opposite of what Chamber support appears it requires. The Coulter quotes have been making the rounds based on her comments about Boehner... which, while they are amusing, clearly distract from the idea content...
