Rush said it plain as day today when a caller asked him what the Tea Party would do if the Repub's fail, he said in effect they (they as in plural, there is no single Tea Party leader, no traditional party hierarchy, which he correctly says it what infuriates the Ruling Class Repub's) will not put up with it, they will go their own way and the GOP will collapse since all it will comprise is the Ruling Class failures of the past. I am still not convinces the present leadership, despite the gains they made with the fricken help of the Tea Party (they would NOT be in power without it!), I hope I am wrong, but I fear I am not. They seem to just not GET IT!
They cannot take the Tea Party conservatives for granted like they did the conservatives in the GOP year after year, election after election!
If they fail, it is all on them, and nobody else, period!
