Business Interests Consider Targeting Tea Party

Wonkblog:
Now that the shutdown and debt-ceiling fight have exposed a rift in the Republican Party, lines are being drawn in the battle for control: On one side, there is Boehner and his circle of powerful business allies. On the other, tea party lawmakers and activist groups such as Heritage Action and the Club for Growth.
“I don’t know of anybody in the business community who takes the side of the Taliban minority,” said Dirk Van Dongen, longtime chief lobbyist for the National Association of Wholesaler-Distributors, who has known Boehner since the lawmaker’s first election.
In the hallways of the country’s leading trade associations, there is talk about taking on tea party Republicans in at least three states. (Michigan, Alabama and Idaho)
Please God, could the business lobby find somebody with half a brain to take on Jim Jordan (Dumbfuck-OH).  Preferably somebody who, unlike Jordan, hasn't spent his whole career pulling a government salary to attack people who depend on the government to get by as ne'er-do-wells.  Pot-Kettle.
