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.

    How did a guy like Boehner ever get put in place to represent people like me? What a sham this whole thing has become.

    I never doubted you... And it's good that they're doing this...shows the tea party has some traction they don't know how to handle...grasping at straws. Let the words fly...it's time for an honest discussion about their compromises and weak kneed approaches. Time for the sissies to go home so the ones with a back bone can start a real game of ball!

    Everyone needs to vet their candidates for sure but there has got to be a strong message sent to Congress. Its the only thing they understand. What good is a runoff vote after all?

    John Boehner versus the Tea Party. Is that even fair? Former President Obama lost his popularity when he lost the support of his left wing. That being true, exactly what "center" is Boehner holding? Non-compromise with a non-popular administration, to validate a non-working website - or perhaps the non-defined foreign policy of non-engaged Secretary of State?

    If President Obama is only an empty suit, what is John Boehner, a necktie... a cufflink...?
