Ive said it was going to come a battle between the traditional GOp and the far right nutters...theres been indications for a few weeks now its begining in earnest I believe...GOOD I sincerely hope the traditional GOP come out the victors.


House Republicans
have a grade for conservative interest groups that apply a litmus test to their every action: F.

The outside groups have become more aggressive and punitive in recent years, and the criteria they use to rate Republicans’ purity are constantly shifting, sometimes within hours or days on the same topic. That’s inspired a fiery backlash from folks who suddenly find themselves branded apostates by organizations they once saw as allies.

There are always at least 3 political fights going on in this country: Right vs. left, right versus far right, and left versus far left. I'm glad the more moderate among the republicans are actually calling out the crazies for what they really are-crazy.

I also have a funny feeling that we are going to see a lot more of this as the primary season kicks into gear.

The primary season is almost over...this is a fight between traditional gop and the teaparty...which the teaparty is handily losing
