I'll second that.  I'm still trying to get my head around the C of C animosity toward the Tea Party.  They seem to be pro amnesty but are they commies too?

Me too! Byrne looks like a "go along to get along" guy. The establishment Republican party has gotten into this fix by too much compromising.

The 2014 primaries are going to be very important. It's time for reform and redirection in the party.

My 2¢.........

Bradley Byrne, a lawyer with two decades in government, is the U.S. Chamber of Commerce's preferred candidate, an endorsement that has meant $200,000 in campaign support.

That right there would decide it for me in this race.  The CofC is teaming with Rove to push pro immigration reform "conservatives".  The Chamber of Commerce is hugely pro immigration reform which means they support what Obama is gonna do to let illegals cheat and become legal.

This distinction needs to be brought up as much as possible because the media will will paint this as TEA Party v. the rest of the GOP to try and minimize them and make them look like fringe candidates.

I don't care if they are the same on every other issue...that pro DREAM Act crap is a vote killer for me.

Me too.....my local republican party just voted "NOT" to censure Lindsay Graham....I'm going to send the party chairwoman a nas....uh....note of disagreement.

The old timers (career politicians) feel entitled and don't like the new breed of conservatives threatening their comfy positions.  The Tea Party candidates seem closer to the values of the people who put them in office and haven't lost their commitment to their campaign promises.
  

The Sr. ones have spent too much time trying to go along to get along and sometimes it's hard to tell them apart from the left side of the isle.

TEA Party is anti DREAM Act or "immigration reform".  CofC just looks at all those potential workers for their businesses and common sense goes out the window.  That and large infusions of $$$$$ from Karl Rove's PAC.

I HATE the term "comprehensive" immigration reform. Code for open borders, and amnesty.

As a person that has sponsored several family members (in-laws) to immigrate to the US LEGALLY, I am the first to say that the process is very long, difficult, and expensive. However, it, by no means, excuses ILLEGAL immigration in any way, shape, or form.

It's like I told my wife in 2006 when she was naturalized after a 17 year process. Gov. Mitch Daniels had just handed her the certificate of US Citizenship. I said, "Dear, this process would have been much faster and cheaper if you had first learned to speak Spanish and hop the southern border." Gov. Daniels looked upon me with a slight smirk of apparent agreement but didn't dare say anything because the press was there.
