Read that last bit again.
"I guarantee you we'll see their political carcasses when they come up for re-election."
Wham and splatter, baby. Them's fighting words.
You could perhaps chalk this kind of talk up the fact that post-election bruised feelings certainly still remain between main-party Republicans and the GOP base insurgents of the "Tea Party." But the outlines of the intra-party struggle that has gone on for the last two years are encapsulated right there in that feisty little exchange. It didn't break out in full before the midterms, but now that the "Tea Party" has dug itself into Congress for real, the potential for a full-fledged flameout appears to be increasing steadily.
Thanks to the GOP base's "Tea Party" push, the main Republican Party got what it wished for: the House.
They may live to regret letting these whacked-out foxes into the henhouse.
Stay tuned.
