WASHINGTON – Can this political marriage survive?Remember this fellow TEA Party Patriots, the GOP/RNC is singing a love song right now, they NEED the TEA Party and our votes, but their interest in the TEA Party is far less than that of a friend and ally!
More than a half dozen tea party-backed candidates have captured Republican Senate nominations, and now the GOP is trying to bring their rebel supporters' enthusiasm into the fold for November.
Republicans have little choice but to at least put on a show of unity: Alienating the antiestablishment tea party could undercut GOP efforts to post big Senate gains, perhaps even win control outright.
Judging by how quickly the GOP establishment embraced tea party nominees after earlier primaries, it may not take long for them to consider insurgent Christine O'Donnell one of their own in Delaware. The state's Senate primary was the freshest source of Republican division after O'Donnell's stunning upset of nine-term Rep. Mike Castle. He hasn't yet rallied behind her but others have, including once and maybe future presidential candidate Mitt Romney.

GOP tries to bring tea party enthusiasm into fold
Former Senate majority leader Trent Lott (R-Miss.), 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.” SOURCEBeware TEA Party, beware indeed!
The GOP/RNC would like nothing better than to make you believe that they are going to change, that they are going to be 100% Conservative all the time, but they are NOT! They are going to pander the Conservatives and TEA Party faithful in order to get your vote.
As soon as elections are over, it's back to business as usual for the GOP.
