A warning to
the GOP
Your war on Tea
is a war on me.

As you know, the GOP leadership has made its deal with the devil this week. We’ll start this week’s show with some advice for preparing yourself, mentally and physically, for the work we have to do. Then, we’ll discuss the deal, who’s responsible for it, and what we can do to help Senators Ted Cruz, Mike Lee, among other decent politicians (there aren’t many). We need to turn up the pressure on the GOP leadership and their cronies, and then make sure Cruz & Lee get some serious backup in 2014.
