"Five Republican Brush Fires." Still didn't find the


Posted: Nov 24, 2012

The National Journal, a Washington insider magazine that might have been expected to mention it, but I did find this below. Sort of thought it would be about POLICY, our representatives actually doing the jobs we send them for, not the 2014 election, but, oh well. At least it's an indicator of what's being talked about. Washington insiders, of course, have a definite "keep the nuts from losing us more seats" viewpoint.

"In the wake of a difficult 2012 cycle featuring weak and not-ready-for-prime-time candidates, Republican leaders are looking to assert more control over the nomination and recruitment processes. As Politico reported Monday, the party’s Senate campaign committee is plotting to “prevent more Todd Akins” from emerging over the next two years. But there are already indications that the mission to stop unelectable candidates from emerging is a lot harder than advertised."

The rest on keeping Michele Bachmann, primary conservative challengers to GOP Senators, etc., etc., under control at the link below.

Will wait for that - "reputable source."

The Republican StrategyFeb 19, 2010
It takes awhile to make sense of the entrails of the Republican Party, partly because they are just so toxic, but also because it's actually difficult to comprehend that an American political party can so deliberately sabotage its own government and nation. But after observing their behavior and their policy of, "Just Say No" -- sometimes to their own suggestions, one can only surmise that they long ago left the business of governing and have instead agreed to a covert game plan of destruc ...
