Murk should bow out... Go, Miller, GO!!
The Hill · 9/17/2010 · by Elise Viebeck
Though he didn't name her specifically, Sen. Jim DeMint (R-S.C.) blasted Senate colleague Lisa Murkowski (R-Ala.) Friday morning during a speech to the Values Voters Summit.
"Even in Alaska, the home of bacon, they threw out that senator," DeMint told an applauding crowd as he discussed the Tea Party movement.
He also took the opportunity to praise Murkowski's challenger, local Alaska attorney Joe Miller, to whom she conceded the Republican Senate primary on Sept. 1, and to express his fondness for the Tea Party movement.
"Tea parties? I've been to a lot of them," he said to more applause.
He went on to criticize "senior Republicans in the Senate" for not supporting insurgents.
"Some of our establishment friends are not really happy with me, or you," he said.
With comments like these, DeMint has increasingly found himself at the center of tensions between establishment Republicans and rising Tea Party challengers.

Too bad about those tensions, estab republicans wake up and smell the tea!
Nice that The Hill (of beans) likes to refer to Conservatives as "insurgents", a term used for terrorists and (in my case) Illegal Criminal Insurgent Alien Invading Colonists.
