In Utah, tea party favorite Sen. Lee faces GOP backlash over government shutdown

When Mike Lee toppled longtime Republican Sen. Robert F. Bennett here in 2010, it was the tea party’s first big triumph. But now, after a 16-day government shutdown, it’s Lee who faces a revolt within his own party.

Utah, one of the most Republican states in the nation, has a long tradition of being represented by pragmatic, business-minded conservatives in the U.S. Senate. Lee broke that pattern by governing as an ideological firebrand — standing alongside Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Tex.) in the push for a shutdown in a failed bid to undermine President Obama’s health-care law.

As a result, Lee’s approval ratings in Utah have cratered, and prominent Republicans and local business executives are openly discussing the possibility of mounting a primary challenge against him. Top Republicans are also maneuvering to redesign the party’s nomination system in a way that would likely make it more difficult for Lee to win reelection in 2016.

It goes deeper than that I believe. The teaparty does not stand for the values of either party historically, they have created their own agenda based on their more' and desires. America has always rejected that type of extremism be it eminating from the left or right.

The teaparty will continue only from specific districts around the country that believes in their values and the big money thats willing to spend it on them aka the kroch bros and adelsens. Most of the country will reject them and render them basically powerless like the environmental nazis who made great noise and committed many crimes in pursuit of their desired agenda and other like extemist left and right organizations.
I have great disdain for all extremist agendas left or right, neither are any good for America or the 98% of its citizens that dont have the means to "BUY" or manipulate whatever its is they want or demand.
