The Politico piece today about the GOP and conservatives is laughable. Good for Mike Pence for standing up and saying so.
The whole premise of the piece is that national Republican leaders are embarrassed by Beck, Limbaugh and the Tea Partyers. Quoting, of course, David Brooks, Bob Michel, people like that. As if the national GOP was leading anybody anywhere. Funny how the folks in Washington always think they're calling the shots for the rest of us.
As a new Rasmussen poll shows today (73% of GOP voters say their reps in Congress don't represent the base), it's the grass-roots that are driving the train now. They're as sick of the Republicans as they are of the Democrats. If the Republicans want to get elected, they need to get on board. Not vice versa.
