What boner and other rinos don’t get is that for the most part the Tea Party got promises from their candidates that they would not raise taxes.
OK, so you are a Tea Party candidate who won due to their efforts.
Maybe 500,000 people voted for you. If you follow boner, you have 500,000 who think (know) you are a liar.
Remember Bush and the “read my lips?. What happened to him?
The Tea Party got them elected, and what does the Tea Party stand for?
Taxed Enough Already.
Remember that chant at all of the early meetings?
Any Tea Party candidate who votes for any tax increase deserves to be tarred and feathered and ridden out on a rail, the way we did things 100 years ago.
Not because it is a good strategic move, or is not, but because of that thing called integrity.
I hope so. Boehner is a failed Speaker. Pelosi said that she "smoked" him out.
Democrats were never good-faith negotiators during this entire process, and Boehner wasn't aware of that. He had blinders on that everyone's word was good. The Old School rules.
The problem is, once finding this out, he's still acting like everyone else are still good-faith actors.
