Boehner has declared war on Tea Party
Posted by stargeezer 11 years, 7 months ago to Government
Yesterday, House Speaker John Boehner declared all-out war on the Tea Party.
In an angry rant he railed against “outside groups” like Tea Party Patriots saying “they’re using our members and they’re using the American people for their own goals.”
The last time we checked, we are the American people. The Tea Party is made up of patriotic Americans – like you – from all across this country and the last hope for reining in this out-of-control government and protecting our Constitution. We are the last hope that our nation has as the country slips into a self absorbed fit of adolescent like, hormone fed tantrum leading to self destruction.
The one voice calling for any moderation and calling for a return to the values and to the laws that this nation was founded on.
Things like standing on the exact reading of the Bill of Rights, forcing judges to render judgments based on existing law, not legislating from the bench. They were never given the power to write law, only to enforce the laws as they are. The executive branch is empowered to insure the nation is properly managed, to be the Commander in Chief, and to manage and implement the passed legislation from congress - not to be a king.
Congress hold the pure strings is a old saying and a true one. The houses job includes making and passing a budget. The senate is suppose to act on the budget, not ignore them - Harry Reid! The senate is suppose to pass on the presidents appointments to judges benches "after careful examination" - not rubber stamp each after determining that they were "liberal" enough.
Most importantly Mr. Boehner, YOU were sent there to represent us. If that job is too hard for you or you just want to do your own thing, perhaps "we the people" need to visit with you.

I had a picture I drew up back when Boehner was crying after the election...
I'd taken a still from "Snow White" and Photoshopped Boehner into it, and captioned it, "Weepy the 8th Dwarf"... but now I can't find it :(
I've suspected for awhile that Brit stepped down so that he could take a more editorial and rhetorical part.
What from the 1% doesn't it support?
1) The things they get done... I don't want done.
2) it's always the conservatives who have to compromise. The Democrats get what they want, the establishment Republicans get what they want, but conservatives never get what they want... by "compromising".
" In any compromise between food and poison, it is only death that can win. In any compromise between good and evil, it is only evil that can profit. "

Not me. The Tea Party only seems to be loyal to the top 1% of corporeality. Either that or they are really dumb and they are being exploited by the 1%.
