GOP Establishment's War On Tea Party Comes To Texas

The Republican establishment's war against the Tea Party has come to Texas. According to a report in theDallas Morning News, "Some of Texas’ biggest business trade groups are moving to counter tea party and anti-government forces that have dominated recent Republican primaries."

The Texas Future Business Alliance, described as a "mix of 10 major business groups, including the chemical industry, bankers, builders and contractors," is reportedly "sending out mailers and providing other support on behalf of GOP candidates" who favor more government spending and want to take on the Tea Party.

A person involved in the Texas Future Business Alliance who refused to go on the record, said, "A lot of the business community is tired" of the Tea Party.

The GOP needs another reason for people to think that they are intolerant of anyone in favor of the Constitution. For what reason, one would have no idea. Maybe because they prefer the R/D club gang friendship, which has to end.

Ah....just look at who is complaining about the Tea Party -- bankers, industry leaders, builders, etc. Wealthy people.
Who enjoy their priviledge and power.
Probably afraid that Tea Party success means their "we'll do anything and pass any law that you pay us to" boys in the legislator won't be around very long.
Oh no!!!
