Tight race? Avoid tea party label on stump.
But two years later, Rehberg wants a Senate seat, and in the 2012 version of Montana politics, Rehberg is Mr. Bipartisan. He touts his vote against the Paul Ryan budget; talks up his work with a New England liberal, Rep. Rosa DeLauro (D-Conn.); and has embraced expansion of a children’s health program.
He doesn’t mention his tea party membership.
What happened?
Eric Olsen, the co-founder of one of Montana’s leading tea party groups, Montana Shrugged, said they still know Rehberg is “on their side,” but they also realize Montana’s sole congressman has to appeal to independents and some Democrats to win a Senate seat that could determine control of the upper chamber.
Oh yeah. Reality happened.

WHAT!?!?
Tea-Bagging racist fatcat hate mongers "realize" something?
Bullshit!
Everyone knows they simply toe the G Gordon Liddy mantra, wave a Gadsden Flag, and slap each other on their NASCAR theme t-shirted backs.
The idea that they would be voting for any candidate willing to (dare I say) compromise with a commie fag liberal is inconceivable!
And what again is the beef with the Tea party? You anti-fiscal responsibility or something?
