Conservative Businessmen Challenging Tea Party Republicans

[Common]

A slice of corporate America thinks tea partyers have overstayed their welcome in Washington and should be shown the door in next year's congressional elections. In what could be a sign of challenges to come across the country, two U.S. House races in Michigan mark a turnabout from several years of widely heralded contests in which right-flank candidates have tried — sometimes successfully — to unseat Republican incumbents they perceive as not being conservative enough.
In the Michigan races, longtime Republican businessmen are taking on two House incumbents — hardline conservative Reps. Justin Amash and Kerry Bentivolio — in GOP primaries. The 16-day partial government shutdown and the threatened national default are bringing to a head a lot of pent-up frustration over GOP insurgents roughing up the business community's agenda.

But..but...you all said the Tea Party was finished after Obama won re-election.

Are you saying you were wrong then and if so, then why should we believe your prediction of their demise now?

Common? you realize that both are being attacked from the right?

Both of these businessmen are saying that the candidate is not conservative enough? Amash and Kerry Both support immigration reform and have not stood as strong as we would have liked on taxations issues?

That's right? If these businessmen win, and I hope that they do, you will be sending someone even more conservative back to Washington!

Common has also repeatedly claimed the tea parties are in bed with big business. Now he proves himself wrong and doesn't even realize it.

Liberals and liberals light detest Americans who support the Tea Party ideals.

A lot of the old establishment Reps don't like us either. And their crony business colluders.

Yes, Big Business agenda is to destroy small business so they can have a Monopoly. That is why big business wants big government. Big Government regulations do not hurt big business they can always afford it, but small business can't.

So the Rockefeller Republicans want to get rid of the Tea Party? It's too bad they can't concentrate their efforts on fighting the real enemy: Obama.
