re: #8 wrenchwench

For reasons I won’t go into, I heard some right wing AM radio late last night. The narrative was about the battle the new conservative congresspeople are going to have with the Republican Elites. The Republican Elites are going to try to co-opt the conservatives, and make them operate by “business as usual”.

I think that’s a very real possibility. The Tea Partiers are getting played by the GOP establishment who aren’t going to deliver smaller government or abolish the IRS, DOE or the EPA. There are a few more true believers entering the GOP like Angle, Rand Paul, etc who really will try to implement these crazy ideas. I still think the true believers are vastly outnumbered by establishment GOP who will take the reigns when the time comes.
