MONEYED REPUBLICANS TRY TO NEUTRALIZE TEA PARTY AHEAD OF 2014

As we approach the 2014 mid-term election, the Republican Party’s center-right business-leaning faction exchanging blowswith its own Tea Party group may prove to be self-destructive. Across the nation, these factions will collide via their political groups such as Defending Main Street, which plans on amassing up to $8 million to obstruct Tea Party candidates from winning primary elections.

"We're going to be very aggressive and we're going to get in their faces,” says former Rep. Steve La Tourette of Ohio who runs Defending America.

Not surprisingly, joining Tourette will be George W. Bush’s chief political strategist Karl Rove and his copious “Conservative Victory Project,” an arm of his Crossroads Super PAC. He will be surfacing candidates and supporting the most viable conservatives that can win in a general election.

Karl Rove needs to be retired.

Rove & crew need to catch up with the times. The majority in the House since 2010 is directly linked to the Tea Party at work. Absent the Tea Party he's out of work. Among other things, 2010 led to a number of statehouses switching and that had bearing on redistricting.

3 parties favor the Dems. Tea & old line Repubs working together can create meaningful change and reverse the slide.

Conservative, Constitution believing individuals who are not going to be afraid of being politically incorrect are what we need. Stop immigration, stop the ACA, cut spending. Main stream R's are not going to do that... Rove, McCain, McConnell, Boehner, and the rest of them must go. I do believe that the TEA party R's have the largest base of individuals who can actually create sustainable change.

Unless they are TEA party candiidates, the republicans are democrats in sheeps clothing.
All they want is ever bigger government, more regulations, and reduced freedoms.
