Just a short diary here, but it appears there is more proof that the not-totally-insane wing of the Republican Party has had enough of the totally-batshit-insane wing of the party.
The evidence?
They're looking for someone to challenge Steve King of Iowa in the primaries.
Establishment GOPers assail tea party on shutdown
"Now, they're lashing out with polls showing Republicans bearing most of the blame for the federal shutdown, which entered its 11th day Friday. In some places, they're laying the groundwork to take action against the tea party in the 2014 congressional elections.
Iowa Republicans are recruiting a pro-business Republican to challenge six-term conservative Rep. Steve King, a leader in the push to defund the health care law. Disgruntled Republicans are further ahead in Michigan, where second-term, tea party-backed Rep. Justin Amash is facing a Republican primary challenger who is more in line with - and being encouraged by - the party establishment. And business interest groups, long aligned with the Republican Party, also are threatening to recruit and fund strong challengers to tea party House members."
Oh, how sweet it is!
