| Just like the headline says. “I think there are going to be a lot of primary challengers,” warns Amy Kramer, a Tea Partier talking to the Associated Press. “People are fed up.” She’s got that right. Some citizens are fed up with any special interest group that feels the need to retaliate just because this lawmaker or that voted his or her conscience. To repeat: Bring it on. Many feel it’s about time that we have a showdown vote to ascertain just how mighty the conservatives are. Let the Tea Party field challengers to the likes of Rep. Fred Upton (R-West Michigan) or Rep. Dan Benishek (R-Upper Peninsula).
Of course, Dan Benishek was a Tea Party alternative in 2010 to Jason Allen, and Fred Upton last year crushed utterly Mad Jack Hoogendyk, a two-time Tea Party primary challenge loser. But, you get his point ... the Tea Party keeps saying that they're going to primary everyone who doesn't cleave to their narrow, rigid ideology. Will they actually do it, or will the Tea Party just keep talking? |
