The screaming mimis here don't think so.

You know, I agree with his premise, that there is a difference and he is a very logical speaker. But what are the Tea Party people railing against? Not that vote in particular but against the general drifting away from the tenets of Republican thought.

For example, John McCain, "Republican":

McCain supported:
amnesty, retroactive Social Security benefits for illegal aliens, free speech-crushing campaign-finance laws, global warming legislation, criminal trials for terrorists and stem-cell research on human embryos.
McCain opposed:
the Bush tax cuts, a marriage amendment to the Constitution, waterboarding terrorists and drilling in Alaska. He called the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth “dishonest and dishonorable.”

There seems to be plenty of evidence that "our side" has some key drifters who leave the fold and compromise our principles when the battle begins, before going gets tough even.

McCain is the responsibility of the AZ voters...has he even had a challenger?

As long as the voters in those States keep choosing who the rest of us find unacceptable there is nothing we can do.

We can bitch and moan all we want but that soves nothing.

United when we bitch and moan we accomplish much.

Bitching and Moaning just for the sake of it, accomplishes nothing.

Those who attack their own, for taking a stand, are not part of the solution, they are

...yep you guessed it, aligned with the enemy. ...for all practical purposes.

What does that even mean ?

When this A hole decides to take aim at his Republican colleagues he stands out as delighting the other side.

Show me anything close to a similar attack taking place from the Democrat side on a fellow Democrat.

Show me any freshman Democrat Senator who publicly and willfully embarrassed a senior colleague from his own party.
