At least one Tea Party organization hasn’t let the Great Obamacare Panic distract them from something really important. The Tea Party Leadership Fund is starting a project to primary all 87 Republicans who dared to vote for the deal to end the government shutdown. After all, as Dan Backer, the treasurer of the group says “You can’t be a conservative and vote to raise the debt ceiling.”. Appropriate to this mindset the campaign is called the “Primaries for Traitors Fund”. Apparently Mr. Backer actually buys into the idea that it’s easy for the government to not default if the debt ceiling is not raised or just doesn’t care. Either belief doesn’t say much for the ability of this group to put the country ahead of ideology, IMO.
