here is the untold story here. The Repubic leadership is happy that the TP was targeted .That is why speaker Bonehead won't set up a select committee staffed with prosecutors ;and why he won't apply pressure to the WH to appoint an independent prosecutor .

OH, there is OBVIOUSLY a lot going on here... because I can't believe there are so many clueless people in power and in charge... self serving, biased, opinionated, idealistic yes... but clueless... no.

Makes you wonder what all of them are getting out of it if they are dancing around the issue without really adressing it head on.

smoothy din't be niaive they are politicians, they have their hand in the cookie jar

That's what I was implying.

Its obvious what stake the Democrats have in this, the question is...why aren't the Republicans taking full advantage of this? What stake do THEY have in this?

I know so say it

I can't say what stake the Republicans might have in this because I can't think of what it would be...

Its obvious the Democrats will stop at nothing legal or not to threaten and blackmail opponents... Hillary was caught red handed doing it with FileGate years ago. And that's over and above protecting their Messiah at all costs... for most of them anyway.

I'd like to know why the Republicans are dancing around the issue without getting too close. White house email backups will show Obamas part in this or are some other fictitious hard drives goig to "fail". And we know how lame an excuse that was.

Just like a kid caught standing on a chair in front of the cookie jar with a mouthfull of cookie with another half a one in their hand saying they didn't touch the cookies it was their brother or sister. Really weak excuse there too.

I told you why ..They saw their power threatened (think Cantor's defeat) by the TP . I could not say with confidence that the Repubic leadership wasn't complicit in the plot .

Based on how they have treated the tea party... that's a credible reason.

"I can't say what stake the Republicans might have in this because I can't think of what that would be".

That's an any easy one to answer because it has been canvassed over and over again. The clue is that it has something to do with ruling elites.

Possibly... its also extremely short sighted on their part if it proves to be true. Which it very will might.

TP does that still exist? Radical didn't do it for you the last time

The Compared to the DNC, the Tea Party are a bunch of Franciscan Monks.

so the DNC is the Inquisition to the TP Franciscan Monks, no, I would say the TP is somewhat more radical, something akin to the Cathars

The TP are just the latest reincarnation of the ultra right wing conservatives that existed even before Goldwater. Of course most of you are forgetting McCarthy and his witch hunts. Different name, same animal.

ask Eric Cantor if it exists. Thad Cochran in Mississippi is also facing a challenge from a TP candidate who will probably win today's primary . On a related note ;hopefully Charlie Rangel loses his primary today in NYC.

Do you REALLY believe that Tal? When you have a Democrat Party run by the Likes of Obama, Pelosi, Boxer, Reid... and the rest that make Lenin look like a conservative.

Hyperbole smoothy, beware of hyperbole do you honestly want a party run by a Bush or a Mccane or a Palin, by a Chaney

How old were you during Goldwater?

Barry Goldwater - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Sounds like an earlier version of the Tea Party to me.

Johnson won by running possibly the sleeziest ad in American history .

Clete, Nobody is as far right as those I mentioned are far left. JFK is spinning in his grave... and would be considered an extreme conservative by today's Democrat leadership.
