Tea Party makes threats and calls for consquences

Tea Party Express Chairwoman, Amy Krener said last week that she no longer has any confidence in the party her members support after GOP lawmakers agreed to higher taxes and no broad spending cuts. She said, "anybody that voted 'yes' in the House (GOP) should be concerned about primary challenges in 2014"

I really wish the Tea Party would just go for it, already. So they can be all pure and everything, and incidentally split the GOP.

and when the incumbent loses and decides not to support the nutjob we can pick off some seats. I might even send them a box of rotten chocolates as a thank you gift.

Every district that is going to be challenged needs to find a viable Democratic candidate, coalesce around that person, start the ground war with Obama's field information and then start the media blitz about the right crazies. Time to take the House back and retain the Senate and get things done. With the change in the filibuster and Democratic change in the house we can get this country back to work and financially fit. FYI; note to self: get rid of McConnell too.
