GOP Establishment Begins Targeting Tea Party Congressmen that are Fighting Boehner

I was so disappointed to see how Congressman Billy Long went from criticizing John Boehner for his lack of spending cuts in HR 1 to getting in line to support Boehner's lack of spending cuts in the debt compromise. There may be a reason why Long has shifted towards the establishment and away from the Tea Party. Tea Party members in Congress wearing the R behind their names may be being threatened by the Boehner establishment.

Rush Limbaugh spoke a little bit about how the GOP establishment is trying to clean the House of the Tea Party.

Jim Jordan, as she's so aptly described, a Tea Party Republican, who is resisting all pressure to cave, and speaking publicly about it. Well, as happens in politics, this is common, folks. This is not something unique to Mr. Jordan. The Republican leadership is telling him that if he doesn't get in line, they'll write his district out of existence. Not even try find somebody to run against him in the primary, they'll just gerrymander his district out of existence. That's what they're telling him. Now, here's what I think is different. You can tell by the nature here of Ellie's call, what will happen if the Republican leadership does this to Jim Jordan, the Tea Party will find somebody to run against some of these Republicans in their so-called safe districts and they'll be primaried.

Jim Jordan is Tea Party. Billy Long was never Tea Party, and this is the ultimate proof.
