Instead, LaTourette blames the Tea Party “chuckleheads” who have “screwed this place up.”

It’s time for the tea party to seek other options outside the GOP.

When you resort to name calling, you prove you are on the weak side and only add to the disunity! The Obama win was not a mandate to tax and spend! This was a close election, not an overwhelming victory by any stretch. LaTourette should rethink his outburst!

My gawd, stop that nonsense already…of course people voted for him because they wanted to see the rich paying more in taxes, among other things, while preserving their own freebies…you can delude yourself as much as you want, but elections do have consequences, and yes, the Reps lost, as much as we hate to admit..as for ‘this was a close election’, give.me.a.break. if Repulicans won by the same margins Obama did, am sure you would be here clamoring in unequivocal terms the legitimacy of their mandate and how they have every right to implement whatever policies they think fit…so, pls, cut the BS with ‘this was a close election’, rationaliations stink, you know…and in case you didn’t notice, pretty much all elections were ‘close’ since 2000…. By your token, Bush hardly had a mandate during his first term, considering his election margins…

And everyone knows. Most ‘normal’ people hate you and your gun toting, narrow minded ilk. Go pollute your own country somewhere far far away from the rest of us.

Good thing you put ‘normal’ in quotes. That way we all know you are referring to the small percentage of progressive fascists and their drooling idiot followers as ‘normal’. I suppose when you live in a tiny echo chamber it is easy to become confused what is normal and what is not.

In terms of moving away, it does sound like you would be much happier someplace like France. They have elected a fascist, so you should be very happy there–at least until the economy finishes crashes and you end up eating from garbage.

ROTFLMAO!!!! Pulled straight out of your @ss, loser; as even the most cursory review of my postings hereabouts readily demonstrates.

Troll harder… or at least smarter.

Go find a ditch to die in.

Silly me, forgot the quote thingy. More difficult on an iPad thingy.

Yes, and former Governor Palin led the Tea Party to victory in the presidential election of 12.

Or was it that Aiken guy?

IlikedAUH2O on December 22, 2012 at 4:12 PM

Yeah, cause Romney was such a tea-party conservative.

And tea-party groups split their votes among Brunner and Steelman, which is how Akin got the nomination.

The Tea Party has demonstrated that they care about this country and they are willing to fight for what they believe and not bend over and take it from the Democrats EVERY FRICKIN’ TIME!

They only have the academics, the pop culture, the media, over half the voters and now many of their own against them.

I wrote it before and I say again President Obama hasn’t exactly set the world on fire with leadership, new ideas or legislation. The problem is that his policies and ideas are toxic as Drano. But he will win any PR war.

BTW, the Dems believe that W was doing this divisive bully tactic for eight years.

Don’t ask me what tactic, since there are so many….

“The hard-core anti-tax conservatives in the GOP seem to believe that Barack Obama will be blamed if there is no agreement reached to avoid sequestration and the tax increases that are coming,” said Sheldon D. Pollack

Entagor replies to Sheldon comment: The spin is getting tedious

repeat after me there is no crisis. It is made up crap by the elites to spook the people into accepting tax hikes and giving their voters the other party to blame. the fact of the matter is this was set in motion months ago.unseen on December 22, 2012 at 2:12 PM

..this is the some crap they do with free trade and open borders. The elites get what they want open borders and free trade and blame the “otherside” for outsourcing and illgeal immigrants.
wake the hell up people.

A lot of truth in what you say. This is a setup. Exactly who is involved is debatable

Rush was correct. Obama wanted Boehner to offer a no strings tax hike, which he could use as a signed confession that the upper GOP finally admits undertaxation is the only problem. Obama ran all over TV proclaiming just that

Obama did not need the bill to pass. He just needed the signature

1. The Senate was going home. Obviously they did not want a bill to pass. Question: Did Boehner not know this (LOL) or did he push a bill in the House which was guaranteed to fail – in the House, so he could blame Tea Party? With no Senate, the onus is on the House

2. I watched Boehner react to how his own party ‘failed’ to help him avoid the fiscal cliff Question: is Boehner a naive fool, or does he want the public to turn on the ones in his own party who did not go along with Boehner. Whether he wanted to stage a purge or not, Boehner pulled a Christie, he set up a play which made his own group look like they were the ones who did not care, by isolating the players and siding with the opposition (the WH). For this, I can call him a fool

Boehner had no hope to produce a bill the Senate would approve. If you think you are outvoted, you have no gain in compromising your base. Write legislation to the base, and let the other party own the outcome.

Clue: when Boehner demoted Tea Party as ‘untrusted’ he signaled the Tea Party was his problem. Then if the vote failed, he could finger this group

One gets a leadership position either by smarts, or by being a useable stooge. Takes your pick. Congress has both
