"After several years of placating the tea party and getting nothing for it, McConnell and establishment Republicans are pushing back. In an interview with the New York Times, McConnell let it be known that he believes he has his adversaries on the run. “I think we are going to crush them everywhere,” the senator said. “I don’t think they are going to have a single nominee anywhere in the country.”"

David Horsey at The LA Times

Them's fightin' words!

Isn't that why the baggers set up their own little congregation across the street from CPAC, because they didn't think CPAC was addressing a "conservative" enough agenda?

[bobabode]

Yup. CPAC's precious bodily fluids aren't pure enough for the faithful in the 'bagger drum circle.

I think Yurtle just lost his primary. Don't forget that he's running state-wide in Kentucky, the state that elected Rand Paul.

Yeah, I expect it'll be tough on guys like Jon Stewart and Billy Mahr if the Turtleman is retired.

I like Bevins. He may be a little too wacky even for them Scotch Irish hillfolk Kentucks.

I recall commenting a few years back that the Tea Party was little more than stooges for the GOP and that, once the Tea Party outlived it's usefulness, the GOP would turn on them.

Here we are.

Republicans eat their own.

OWS? Do you have any examples you can cite where one faction of OWS basically vowed to destroy another faction?

Another example of false equivalency from you.

Last time it was you trying to assign the Democrats equal blame with the Republicans for the invasion of Iraq. This time it's you trying to equate OWS with Bagger Nation as being equally batshit crazy.

What bullshit.
