    There seems to be a trend this morning.

    As we had expected, the ObamaCare vote could certainly be an issue in next Republican primary. Stating that the cost of government run healthcare will be destructive by hurting the poor and middle class the most, Conservative Activist Chad Stevens announced his intention to primary Senator Howard Walker should he vote to continue the government's war on healthcare freedom. Stevens believes he knows what the Republican base wants in Senator Walker's district and what they expect in a state senator.

    "It is vital that we have a state senator that actively works to keep government out of the lives of our families and businesses and work equally hard to protect the liberties and health freedom of the districts constituents."

    "This will be a major issue for conservative primary voters in 2014.  Should Senator Walker vote against our health freedoms, I am prepared to launch a primary challenge. I believe that conservative voters will reject a sitting senator who supports team Obama by voting to take away our liberties and will rally around a fresh approach that centers on lowering taxes, individual liberty, and reducing the size and scope of government intrusion into our lives."

    And like the Sundquist announcement, the welfare growth vote could be all the incentive he needs to follow up with a robust campaign:
    "If there was ever any doubt that Senator Walker was out of touch with the current Republican primary voters, this vote on expanding Medicaid will tell us for sure."
    We would like to see a no vote out of Howard Walker as well.

    I get the threat, however, if this becomes a primary challenge with Chad being the Libertarian that he is: needs to state clearly and very precisely where he stands on Prop 04-2.

    There have been too many interlopers in the MI-GOP Big Tent without Sides, such as the blatantly in everyone's face Leon Drolet, pushing for sodomite marriage, and now with Mike Cox's evolved "become more libertarian" Bee-eeS.

    A Conservative is not anything that is of the Cheap Hippie Party mentality formed in 1972.  That goes for Rand Paul providing his pathway vote for TEA darling Marco RubiObama scAmnesty as well.

    TEA folk really need to up the standards of their vetting practices.  Swapping one Leftist agenda issue for another equally destructive Leftist agenda issue is about as purposeful as putting spats on a rhino.

    That may not sit well with some RM readers, but it is what it is.
