Tea Partiers making an offer nobody should refuse
On the other side are John "Boss" Boehner, Mitch "Consigliere" and Don McConnell (NA) of the Republican Party, the godmother, Sarah "Capo" Palin. From the sidelines, Palin urged her tea-sotted soldiers not to be deceived, trapped or lightly. She knows how easy it was in the years to beg, bribe, or bash the wide-eyed, freckle-faced first-year students of Congress to do the job a lot of the heads of families left - against will of the people. We were outnumbered and excluded.Until ... up ... one day a big cheese CNBC, Rick "The Rant" Santelli mouth off on the floor of the market on the ridiculous spending spree and the scandal of housing in the Obama administration. People listened to the diatribe. Then, as if the floodgates had been opened after a week of deluge, we started a revolution and the Tea Party was born in appearance that day. They rose in unison across the country, a move prompted by the fear of their country was sacked in a third world banana republic with a president and the party of resentment of America and its success. Krauthammer and the rest of the beltway naysayers had to eat their words after the 2010 elections. They just don’t get a lot of what happens out in the hinterlands. The Tea Party candidates with some exceptions kicked Dem butt. It was the biggest one-day hit in federal and state government history. The revolt was led by the likes of Governor Scott “Slap the Demonstrators” Walker and Chris “Crusher” Christie in the fugetaboutit state itself, New Jersey. We watched an in-your-face march through throngs of concerned Tea Partiers on Capital Hill where several black Congressmen claimed they were called the “N” word 15 times and were spat upon. Those charges were proven false by conservative stalwart, Andrew Breitbart when his offer of $100,000 to the UNCF for proof of same went unanswered. * Joe Wilson, South Carolina - A veteran lawmaker best known for shouting "You lie!" at President Obama during the 2009 State of the Union address.Dave Weinbaum is a regular contributor of one-liners and commentaries to regional and national publications and Web sites, including the Reader's Digest, National Enquirer, and Forbes and is a regular pundit for the www.jewishworldreview.com Readers can reach Dave at dwquote@prodigy.net or www.daveweinbaum.

Tea Party Threatens Dick Lugar With Primary Challenge
Dick Lugar is already facing a primary challenge from Tea Party candidate Richard Mourdock. Now Lugar’s colleague, national Tea Party leader and U.S. Senator Jim DeMint of South Carolina is threatening to withdraw support from Lugar and support his primary opponent if Lugar votes for the bipartisan debt agreement that would prevent the American economy from default.
According to the news reports today:
“DeMint had promised after last year's election that he would not endorse any opponents to his fellow Republican senators, but is angry enough with the debt ceiling compromise that … he may back serious challengers to Republican senators who support the plan, according to a source close to the senator.”
Other conservative groups like the Club For Growth have also opposed the bipartisan debt agreement. “Rank and file conservatives in Indiana are rejecting Dick Lugar,” said Matt Canter, spokesman for the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee. “But now, Jim DeMint, a colleague of Senator Lugar and one of the most prominent Tea Party leaders in the country, is threatening to support Tea Party candidate Richard Mourdock, Lugar’s primary opponent, if Lugar votes to prevent the nation from default. Will Lugar pander to the extreme wing of the party or will he face the wrath of Tea Party leaders in Indiana and across the country?”
Background: DeMint Is “Angry Enough” That He May Back Challengers to Republican Senators. In August 2011, DeMint “is angry enough with the debt-ceiling compromise that Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell and House Speaker John Boehner struck with President Obama that he may back serious challengers to Republican senators who support the plan, according to a source close to the senator.” [ The Hill , 8/01/11 ]
December 2010: DeMint Reassured Colleagues He Would Not Endorse Primary Opponents Against Incumbents. In December 2010, DeMint privately reassured his Republican colleagues up for reelection that he won’t recruit or endorse any primary opponent against them. [ Politico , 12/10/10 ]
But in Mid-June 2011: DeMint Said “It’s Going to Be Pretty Hard” To Stay Out of Primaries.
