Idaho R’s Try To Muzzle Tea Partiers?

As I’m sitting here in Court, something just hit me like a ton of bricks. This court case is actually NOT about incumbency vs challenger (in the strictist sense as I previously posted). It is far more pernicious than that. It goes beyond any candidate, past or future. It is about the deeply held anger/disrespect by many GOP incumbent office holders — against the volunteer people in the Party organization — the moms and dads — the disaffected Tea Party folks. What? Does that even make sense? Yep. The long-term GOP elected representatives want party organization people/volunteers/Tea Party folks to simply be pampleteers during “election time” and then shut the hell up during the rest of the time/ Dennis Mansfield .

Question: What do you make of Dennis’ premises that the goal of the lawsuit brought by Idaho Republicans is to keep Tea Partiers in line?
