They eat their own
And when the main course is main stream Conservatives, that is good for the country. The latest entree is Newt Gingrich himself, target of a counterattack from the Club for Anarchy Growth responding to his attack on the Club for Anarchy Growth in defense of Sen. Bob Bennett of Utah.
Several Republicans are challenging Bennett from his right flank as he seeks a fourth term, largely because of his vote in favor of the Wall Street bailout in 2008. While the Club has said they will oppose Bennett, they haven't said which candidate they will support instead.Hard to believe there could be anybody to the right of a Utah Senator. They are there and they are demanding of all candidates a perfection in their own image. Right on, dudes!
But Bennett has the backing of the National Republican Senatorial Committee - which as a rule supports Republican incumbents - and on Wednesday Gingrich showed up in Salt Lake City to lend a hand.
"I wish the Club for Growth would spend as much time and energy to defeat liberal Democrats as they do dividing Republicans," Gingrich told a crowd at Bennett's formal campaign launch, according to the Deseret News. "I try to defeat liberal Democrats. I don't spend much time trying to defeat Republicans."
