As Tea Party politicos prepare to take their seats when the 112th Congress convenes this week, they are already taking issue with Republicans for failing to hold the line against the legislation enacted in the waning weeks of Democratic control of the House of Representatives.
The GOP leadership in the House ignored candidates backed by Tea Party groups powerful committee positions.
Just a month ago, Tea Party leaders were celebrating their movement’s victories in the midterm elections.
As Congress wrapped up an unusually productive lame-duck session last month, Tea Party leaders were lamenting that Washington behaved ignored them.
In their final days controlling the House, Democrats succeeded in passing legislation that Tea Party leaders opposed, including a bill to cover the cost of medical care for rescue workers at the site of the World Trade Center attacks, an arms-control treaty with Russia, a food safety bill and a repeal of the ban on gay men and lesbians serving openly in the military.
Rightardia predicts that a civil war will break out between the Tea Party congressional members and the country club Republicans who are already in the House.
The civil war will continue on during the 20102 election cycle when Country club Republicans will try to torpedo the candidacy of Sarah Palin and push Mitt Romney onto Republican voters.
