WASHINGTON – Chalk up another win for the tea party. And another embarrassment for the Republican establishment.
Tea party favorite and two-term state lawmaker Raul Labrador defeated Vaughn Ward, a Marine reservist heavily recruited by national Republicans, in Idaho's primary on Tuesday. Ward's loss comes on the heels of several other races in which candidates stumbled as the anti-Washington mood takes hold.
National Republicans had coached Ward and had made him one of their first named recruits, known as "Young Guns." He also had the backing of former vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin.
Man, I love primaries. Primaries are where you purify the party. Most of the time in years past, the guys I vote for or want to win in the primary elections don't win. This year is different. November is going to be something to behold.
I really don't believe the purple lipped bastard in the white house has any idea what is coming in November.
I know that is a harsh thing to say about the President, but if he don't have any more respect for America, and the American people than what he has shown lately, I don't really care.

I think the Tea Party movement will eventually dominate a 'new' republican party which will be forced to the right and be driven by
popular support to embrace conservatism regardless of what the "national" party embraces. Their survival is dependent on their reassertion of traditional values of small government, lower taxes,
and personal liberty; the TEA Party movement is the whip which will beat them there...hehehe...and it's been a long time coming !
You may want to start thinking of a list of names to post under, cause "jubilees a comin."

I will delight in the cries of pain as the left gnashes it's teeth. The Obama obscenity gets dismantled after January. It will be a good thing to witness after the travesty we just were subjected to.

Yep,
Obama is thin skinned now. I want to see a real temper tantrum.

It's definitely 'in the works'...what with the oil spill and the dog-and-pony show of workers to do cleanup (they left after the photo op),
and with the Sestak/Specter bribery scandal fermenting, I can't wait to see Barry bust a 'rrhoid....hehhehe.....
Tea Party Win in Idaho
