Are The RINO’s Afraid Of Real Conservatives?

The RINO’s are showing some fear of the Tea Party.  The likes of Trent Lott and Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC) criticize the Tea Party movement for what they see as its extreme agenda that threatens to turn off moderate voters in November.  What extreme agenda are they talking about? 

Between the tea partiers and Jim DeMint, these Republican Senators are getting a lot of heartburn and are starting to speak out. One of the good old boys of the club who can speak freely because he’s on the outside lobbying now is the former leader of the Senate Republicans, Trent Lott.

Lott now a D.C. lobbyist warned that a robust bloc of rabble-rousers spells further Senate dysfunction. “We don’t need a lot of Jim DeMint disciples,” Lott said in an interview. “As soon as they get here, we need to co-opt them.” But Lott said he’s not expecting a tea-party sweep. “I still have faith in the visceral judgment of the American people,” he said.

In recent comments to The New York Times, Senator Lindsey Graham said that the movement is “unsustainable” and will “die out” because it does not have a long-term coherent vision. Graham also expressed his concern that the GOP has moved too far to the right. The senator, who is a known moderate, stated that “everything I’m doing now in terms of talking about climate, talking about immigration, talking about Gitmo is completely opposite of where the Tea Party movement’s at.”

These comments have upset representatives of the National Tea Party Federation, who called on Graham to apologize for what they see as insulting comments.

Mark Lloyd, chairman of the Lynchburg, Va. Tea Party, said that the South Carolina Senator’s words demonstrate that he is out of touch with regular Americans who are becoming ever more engaged politically.

“The growth in the number of conservative grassroots political organizations, including those considering themselves ‘Tea Party’ is increasing rapidly, much to his dismay, and to the dismay of his fellow Washington elites,” he stated.

Lindsey Graham, Trent Lott and their ilk have moved too far to the left.  America doesn’t want socialist Democrats and wanna be socialist Democrats.  We want men and women in Washington like Jim DeMint who are for smaller government with less intrusion into our lives.  We want conservatives.
