Interesting post tonight on The Hill.
Puzzling to say the least.
Strangest thing I've read in awhile.
Maybe the election has finally fried the white matter inside the Republicans head. (It would be an insult to the white matter to call it a brain - when located inside a Republican's head.)

Brent Bozell, a prominent conservative
activist and fundraiser, is threatening to steer donors away from the
Republican Party if GOP lawmakers sign a deal to raise taxes.
Bozell sent a letter to Republican
National Committee (RNC) Chairman Reince Priebus on Wednesday pledging to make
it his mission to counsel conservative donors to shun the party if its leaders
in Congress agree to raise taxes.

“Reince,
it pains me to say this, but if the Republican Party breaks its word to the
American people and goes along with President Obama with tax increases, it will
have betrayed conservatives for the final time,” Bozell wrote.
“I
will make it my mission to ensure that every conservative donor to the
Republican Party that I have worked with for the last three decades — and there
are many and they have given tens of millions to Republican causes — gives not
one penny more to the Republican Party or any member of Congress that votes for
tax increases,” he warned.

Sen. Jim DeMint (R-S.C.), a member of
the Senate Tea Party caucus, warned that conservatives could back challengers
to sitting lawmakers who vote for tax increases.
“If there is a bad deal, I just think
you’re going to see conservatives around the country coalesce around better
candidates, better-trained candidates, and to recognize the Republican Party
needs to reflect more conservative principles,” he said.
DeMint said a lot of conservative
donors have already stopped giving to the official Republican Party committees
and sent their dollars instead to outside groups.
So – they are saying that they are going to put extremist Tea-publicans
in to replace the conservative nut jobs we have in there now?
Really???????
That assumes that all the Tea-publicans signed Norquist’s pledge or are still going to abide by it.
55 of the 219 Congressonals representative who
originally signed Grovers pledge – have kicked it to the curb.
Even a lot of the incoming freshman have
signed the pledge – it is a smaller percent of total than in previous years (26 of 38 compared to 96 of 99 in 112th Congress)
Or is the outside group the GOP-ers are planning on giving the money to
The Corporatist Party of America (ALEC)
