Okay, so the Big Business wing of the GOP is now officially at war with the Tea Party, and intends to "beat the snot out of them." Note the "wrecked the Republican brand," after the Tea Party got Obama to delay that odious program. This presumes the REAL Republican brand is to cave in and just pass it along to consumers.

QuoteIt took a tea-party insurrection that disabled the federal government and wrecked the Republican brand, but after months of handwringing, establishment Republicans are preparing to attack ultraconservative ideologues across red America.

From Alabama to Alaska, the center-right, business-oriented wing of the Republican Party is gearing up for a series of skirmishes that it hopes can prevent the 2014 midterm election from turning into another missed opportunity. This will not be a coordinated operation. It will be messy, ugly, and prone to backfiring. And if the comeback succeeds, it will be in fits and starts, most likely culminating in the selection of a presidential nominee in 2016.

"Hopefully we'll go into eight to 10 races and beat the snot out of them," said former Rep. Steve LaTourette of Ohio, whose new political group, Defending Main Street, aims to raise $8 million to fend off tea-party challenges against more mainstream Republican incumbents. "We're going to be very aggressive and we're going to get in their faces."

The caterwauling over the GOP brand ramped up after President Obama's reelection and a handful of setbacks in the Senate before hitting full screech as the country hurtled toward default. For some Republicans, the time for soul-searching is over. "This is a battle we have to fight," said GOP consultant John Feehery, who has advised top Republican leaders on Capitol Hill. "We can't just lie down and let this happen."

Tactics being discussed among Republican strategists, donors, and party leaders include running attack ads against tea-party candidates for Congress; overthrowing Ron Paul's libertarian acolytes dominating the Iowa and Minnesota state parties; promoting open primaries over nominating conventions, which can produce Republican hard-liners such as Virginia gubernatorial candidate Ken Cuccinelli and shutdown-instigator Mike Lee of Utah; and countering political juggernauts Heritage Action, the Club for Growth, and FreedomWorks that target Republican incumbents who have consorted with Democrats.

Of course, the Donks won't mind a little intra-party mayhem. The Tea Party in particular has enjoyed it when the Donks do it. The Donk-owned presstitutes will surely assist in this sliming.

By November 2014, the T.P. crowd will have racked up death totals equivalent to Pol Pot, and all members listed with Interpol for extradition back to Gitmo. Ask the average public school student, the Tea Party eats babies and fornicates with sheep.

Wake me up when the TP declares war on the GOP.

That will be the only thing new under the sun, and worthy of excitement.

Exactly.

The spineless GOP stands for nothing.

GOP vs Tea Party is nothing but "dog bites man".

As is WH, MSM, DNC, RINO, Hollywood, cartoonists, academia, unions.....vs. Tea Party.

Tea Party vs. somebody / anybody will be the first true "man bites dog".

Sorry to say, the TP is still stuck in the country club GOP outlook of "don't make waves, don't be gauche, don't be provocative".

It's amazing, the TP has maintained the single most self-debilitating aspect of the GOP and RINO's.

This reminds me of an amazing Bob Marley quote I just saw - "The people who are trying to wreck the world don't take a day off.............why would I  ??"

GOP and now the TP.....taking most days off.

Exactly.

The GOP declares war on the Tea Party like a thief declares war on the property owner coming to take his property back.

I don't know about the TP. but I just declared war on the Republican Party.  And it's leader with the fake tan he probably gets in a tanning bed while wearing a thong.  Ugh.

We warned the GOP twice when they called.
They hung up on us both times.
