It's Starting.....GOP Senators Blaming Tea Party for Failure to Capture Senate
http://www.alternet.org/newsandviews/article/317243/gop_senators_blaming_tea_party_for_failure_to_capture_senate/#paragraph6


GOP senators are playing the blame game over Republicans' failure to gain control of the Senate, bringing public attention to some long-standing tensions within the party.

In one corner, we have a group of prominent senators and operatives who argue that far-right Republicans like Sarah Palin and Jim DeMint were foolish to push nominees too conservative to win, pointing to the bitter losses of Tea Party-backed candidates in Delaware, Colorado and Nevada.

Make sure we post all these cross-recriminations and finger-pointing by both sides.

5. It's only the beginning!
It will get worse before it gets better. The teabaggers are not going to agree with a whole lot of what mainstream republicans want to do, at least the "real" teabaggers, some of those who go elected used the tea party groups for votes, but have no intention of doing things the teabagger way! Give them about a month or so and watch the fireworks start! Palin thinks she can use the tea party to win the republican nomination, so I want to see just how Rove and the other mainstream right wing take her down! :evilgrin:

As if this country would ever vote a teabagger for president. (Palin '12? rotflmao) They can only win in district races.

9. K O Emphasized on this yesterday....and...ITS TRUE...Dick Armey let the witches and worse outta the
bottle...

P Obama sucked them in...its on the Baggers now to produce....It was Rope a Dope...The Senate was lost to the GOPers when COD, Angle, was picked to oust ole time GOPers who woulda won th 11/2

The Baggers have become DRAMA QUEENS and WORSE...Many are now ARROGANT that they have control of the House...

We all know Bullies and drama people in our Families...they don't make for HAPPY....this is the current crop in the House...

WTF?

11. On this one they're right. The TB's & Sarah DID cost them the Senate!
I am positive if a normal human Pub would have been nominated in Nv Harry would have lost. If a normal person would have been nominated in Del they would most likely have won. That's only TWO! There are others whre the same thing applies. Howevver, I'm THRiLLED that the Pubbies are fighting about it! I bet unka Mitch is fuming too!

15. They have sense, unlike some here
Or they'd be saying they didn't get the Senate because they weren't conservative enough.
