In one of the best political developments of the last 10 years, Republican fiscal  "moderates" in Pennsylvania had their asses handed to them in the primary elections yesterday.  You can read about it here, but the moral of the story is – conservatives will come out and defeat big spending Republicans in primaries.  And as I have penned before, this is exactly what must happen to drive change in the GOP.  With the immigration disaster looming, and federal spending at an all time high, conservatives sent moderates a big message last night – everyone needs to get their act together or its over.  All you guys that voted for those big bonds ought to take notice too.  As long as we keep spending literally all of the surplus and failing to deal with structural State deficits, you are all vulnerable too.
