What Republicans REALLY need to be kicked out of the Senate

I'd like to say most of them, but that just won't happen.

I think the Tea Party needs to specifically target the following:

John McCain
Richard Lugar
Mitch McConnell
Scott Brown
Lindsey Graham
Orrin Hatch
 
Targeting McCain would be a waste of time. He just won re-election to the Senate a few months ago and who knows if the Tea Party will even exist in its current form in 2016, or if McCain will even run for a 6th term at age 80? Graham and Hatch would be much better targets.
 
Why don't we spend our time targeting democrats, and leave the primary'ing of Republicans up to the residents of those specific states. In fact, let's just get Ron Paul elected.
 
Inhofe. Unfortunately, it's Coburn who's about to retire.

Coburn seems to be getting worse lately but he just got re-elected, so in five years we can worry about it.

It's best to look at seats where we actually have a chance. North Dakota is the huge one right now but no one has stepped up to the plate for our team. In Utah, Jason Chaffetz, who is better than average but that's it, looks poised to take on Hatch. McConnell is in there for as long as he wants unless he is outspent by millions. McCain is going to retire. Indiana will be in play if Lugar retires, but it looks like he's running again, so that's a lost cause. Lindsey Graham would take a huge coordinating effort and I doubt we could do it, but again, that's not for a couple more years.

This should be your baseline, at least for this upcoming election but it is looking increasingly likely that we have no legitimate candidates anywhere. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Senate_elections,_2012
