If one ever needed proof that establishment Republicans and Democrats amount to one party rule in Washington, look no further than this story.

Former Republican Senator Richard Lugar’s leadership political action committee, The 19th Star PAC, sent $5,000 on Dec. 12 to Democrat Michelle Nunn, who will face the winner of the Republican primary for Saxby Chambliss's seat. Chambliss, a Republican, is retiring.

Nunn also received a donation from another Republican, former Virginia Senator, John Warner.

Lugar was beaten by Richard Mourdock, tea part candidate, who lost the seat to a democrat.

Now Indiana has a much more liberal Senator (Donnelly) than Lugar ever was or would be.

Would the Tea Party candidate have lost if the alleged Republicans had backed him instead of the Dim?

Of course not. The Party People did NOTHING to help the Dim opponent because they saw him as a bigger threat to them than they did the Dim.

As the "new kids", it's the responsiblity of the Tea Party to accomodate the GOP's wishes, not the other way around.

Is that a fact?

It doesn't make any sense they would vote themselves out of office

Yes,it is a fact. They aren't afraid of the Dims taking power because they share power off and on with the Dims all the time,and they have an understanding between them to "share the wealth" because they all know that the situations may become reversed after the next election.

They both hate and mistrust the Tea Party candidates because they will NOT share the wealth. In fact,their stated goals are to reduce the size of government and reduce the wealth spent.
