I hope the Koch brothers have deeper pockets than normal in 2014 because it seems big business is backing away from the Tea Party.
"If the tea party wants to be part of winning in 2016, they're
going to need to be inclusive, they're going to need to stop challenging
Republican incumbents in primaries," said Bobbie Kilberg,
a longtime Republican operative and donor who is also president and
chief executive officer of the Northern Virginia Technology Council.
"They can spend all the time they want in making their points based on
principle, but if you cannot win an election and you cannot govern,
what is the point?"
Kilberg has supported many Republicans in
the past but refused to back Cuccinelli, who was outspent $32 million to
$19 million by McAluliffe, according to the Virginia Public Access
Project. Kilberg said she was turned off by Cuccinelli's focus on social
issues like gay marriage and abortion and the tea party-fueled
government shutdown.
Yup social issues don't matter very much if we are defaulting on our debt and slowing down trade deals so Obama "can't get a win." Economic growth and prosperity is much preferable to ideological purity in my book.
