Idaho Tea Partier To Protest Taxes Health Care Sarah Palin!

Out in Idaho, one tea party Republican has had enough of Sarah Palin.

Lucas Baumbach, who's running for the state senate, is angry that Palin is butting in to the Republican race to unseat U.S. Rep. Walt Minnick (D). What's worse, she's endorsing the other guy.

"I think she should let Idahoans pick for themselves instead of shoving a candidate down our throats," he told TPMDC in an interview today.

Baumbach supports Raul Labrador, a conservative state representative who openly supports repealing the 17th Amendment. But Palin is stumping for Vaughn Ward, who was the Nevada state director for John McCain's presidential campaign, by headlining a fund-raiser tomorrow night.

So, as the Idaho Reporter originally reported, Baumbach is organizing an anti-Palin protest outside the rally He said he expects about 200 people, many of them from the local tea party.

1. Can someone explain why Tea Ba . . .Partyers don't like the 17th Amendment?

Why do they want their Senators SELECTED FOR THEM by their state legislatures?

2. Ok here's some explanation anyway

Of course it makes no logical sense in any way shape or form and is a way to TAKE AWAY the will of the individual voter, but in Tea Ba . . Partyer Bizarro World this is good. Wow.

3. My guess is that the Founding Fathers didn't want it

And to them, what they say goes.
