Tea Party Disdains DC Oligarchy, Slams Senate Deal

Urges House Not to Accept Deal and Receive Nothing in Return

WASHINGTON, D.C.— The Tea Party Patriots today blasted the deal by Senate Democrats and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell.

“The Ruling Elites in Washington, D.C. have completely abandoned the American people,” said Jenny Beth Martin, National Coordinator for Tea Party Patriots. “The deal cut in the Senate does NOT protect the American people from this unfair and unworkable law.’

“The Senate deal is a complete sellout. Speaker Boehner and the House should stand firm and reject this deal to reign in the Executive branch’s power before it is too late,” continued Mrs. Martin. “The House ‘Leadership’ must stop playing ‘flinch’ with themselves, and instead, play hardball with the White House, the Senate, and the House. Otherwise, hard-working Americans are going to bear the burden of this unaffordable law. The American people WILL hold those responsible for this mess accountable.

“Simply requiring income verification for subsidies for Obamacare is a hollow plan. If this requirement is enforced with the same effectiveness as the Obamacare online rollout, then there is no way this information will actually be verified. The President and Senate Democrats have taken every opportunity to avoid negotiating with Republicans and the country, and as a result, the American people no longer have a voice at the table. The President was not even willing to negotiate or to live under his namesake law.

“Congress will feel the repercussions of refusing to negotiate at all and for refusing to live under the same law the forced on the American people. This country has three branches of government to divide the power, but President Obama and Senate Democrats now plan to rule by oligarchy.

It won’t matter. Conservatives have a serious case of battered wife’s syndrome. We’ll stay with the abusive RINOs no matter what. For the record, I left the GOP ages ago. I vote Libertarian whenever I can.

Mere words are insufficient to express the outrage I feel towards these self-serving, incompetent, spineless one-party examples of appeasment-at-any-cost POS imbeciles!

Obama Administration only enforce the laws that suit them so any enforcement agreements of the laws are just opportunities to reward their supporters and punish their detractors.

It’s the extreme of groveling flattery to call this transaction a ‘deal’.

‘Deal’ implies that BOTH parties benefit!

It could only qualify as a ‘deal’ if you think of it as a ‘raw deal’ for Conservatives.

No thanks! We’re at the saturation point with THOSE kinds of deals…. !!

No. They're trying to defer the next "crisis" until after Christmas. They don't want to interfere with their extended holiday.

I was watching Fox today. Carney was on. I haven’t had access to any news so I don’t know what happened, but Carney kept saying the shut down was unnecessary.

I have to agree with him.
If the Republicans let this crap go and get nothing why shut down anything?. They just as well might have kissed Obama’s and Harry Reids ass right from scratch and done away with any semblance of doing what is right.

Why have Budgets and debt limits? Just vote to spend like hell until the printers break down.

F the Republicans.

What difference does it make, they get the blame for it.

Why? because they are cowards who sit and let the Democrats take the ball away from them.

Excuse me, but shouldn’t your outrage be directed at those “cheerleaders” (yourself, perhaps included?) who DID EXACTLY WHAT OBAMA WANTED THEM TO DO!

And therefore

Gave Obama a big, fat “win”?

and therefore

Made the Tea Party look like a gaggle of “imbeciles”?

Just what was the cheerleaders’ “plan” anyway?

To say “NO” or “HELL, NO!” until Obama gave up?

REALLY? That was IT? That was the PLAN?

Shame! Shame! Shame!

THAT plan could only work if Obama CARED about America.

News-flash! He doesn’t!

Before accepting your characterization of our Republican representatives as “...self-serving, incompetent, spineless etc....”, I’d like to know what YOU did to get Independent and Democrat voters to send letters of support to our House and Senate Republicans on the firing line.

Nothing?

In other words, YOU sent our troops into battle without “ammunition”, and now YOU say the loss of that battle is THEIR fault?

Pride goeth before a fall.

Venturer - On Monday, the Democrats are going to wake up to an America that talks only about the problems with Obamacare for the next 60 days - They’re going to be looking for a way out soon ...

No. They just will not cover the problems.

The left will start other wag-the-dog events.

Immigration will shortly be rammed down our throats -- with Boehner enthusiastically wanting it done.

The problems of Obamacare will be ignored.

Somebody said when this thing got rolling, the people would be hunting Democrats down with dogs.

I don’t have a dog , but I know where I can find a couple of Democrats.
