Some in GOP Concerned About a New 'Nucleus' of Tea Party Senators

Responsible Republicans who are more interested in problem solving than partisanship (there are still a few) are right to be concerned.

Lott is a lobbyist. We don't WANT lobbyists 'co-opting' our elected officials, which is why we are drawn to these candidates to begin with.

I'd be worried too if I was a republican. Nothing to offer to anyone, except extreme hatred. The tea party is another cult.

Let's tell the TEA PARTY folks that we don't want to turn over our social security money to those WALL STREET BANKERS who brought us the GREAT RECESSION while lining their own pockets. The government has been faithfully sending our seniors a check every month for the last 75 years.

THEY SHOULD BE NERVOUS...

AS EVERY INCUMBENT FROM BOTH PARTIES SHOULD BE. nOT A SINGLE ONE DESERVES TO BE RE-ELECTED....

THEY ARE TRULY THE MOST WORTHLESS BUNCH EVER TO HOLD OFFICE...

The interesting part is when a substantial number of Tea Partiers actually get themselves elected. They have already made it pretty clear that they have little respect for the RNC. Even if the Republicans become a majority party, will it be with some members who are only nominally Republicans and who are less willing to cooperate with the leadership than the Democrats? Republicans have always been able to control their membership much more efffectively than the Democrats. That is their strength. They may fight among themselves, but they present a united front against the Democrats. The Democrats don't have that luxury. There's not much telling what a Democrat is going to do until he actually does it. We could wind up with the moderate Republicans having to team up with the moderate Democrats to get anything done, even if they have a majority in congress.

Always wondered where these tea party types were at when bush waged 2 wars with out paying for them and tax cuts with out paying for them? Not a peep out of them when bush doubled the debt.

The tea party wants spending cut except on thier wars.

cjjanis; Well you should be happy because the "lowest taxes in 50 years" are coming to an end. In Jan. the US will find that those "Bush tax cuts for the rich" expiring will mysteriously hit EVERYBODY starting with the lowest tax bracket giong up 50%!! {from 10% to 15%}. In addition all brackets will go up and various deductions and credits will be eliminated or drastically cut. The Obama agenda will forego its silly promise of "no new taxes on less than $250,000 in income" and ram through anything it can get. The primary reason tax reciepts are inadequate are unbridled spending, 47% of filers mostly receiving subsidies, and two wars Bush didn't pay for. If spending was cut modestly, the tax base was broader and we left Iraq and Afghanistan we would quickly be in surplus.

The D's are loving the idea that the R's may split their ticket. We don't need a new party to mess with the numbers because the sure losers will be "we the people". Just don't vote for the incumbant. That should get our message across to the most stupid politician. If every incumbant were to be voted out of office in 2010 the Senators up for election in 2012 and 2014 may start acting like Senators instead of prostitutes. -- Edgar
