Thad McCotter To The Tea Party: Time To Grow Up
Outside the Beltway ^

Posted on 07/31/2011 10:32:24 AM PDT by mnehring

Rep. Thaddeus McCotter (Mich.), a Republican presidential candidate, called Saturday morning for Republicans and the Tea Party to stop fighting and work together to help save the country, presumably from Democratic policies, although he was not specific.

“On the right, take note,” McCotter said on the House floor. “It is as unwarranted and injurious for a Republican to call a Tea Partier a hobbit as it is for a Tea Partier to call a Republican a RINO.”

Sorry Thad, but you are wrong.

Hobbits are mythical creatures living in an imaginary land. What they do has little affect on us living in the real world.

RINOs, on the other hand are real creatures living in the real world and have, and will do, considerable injury to us. Besides, RINOs (Republican In Name Onlys) have lied to us by swearing they will do one thing then doing another.

Thad, a simple question for you; “What does a politician have to sell but his word?” The RINOs, most of them "Professional Politicians", have lied to us and will continue to do so. So why should we let them lie to us again? Bottom line' Thad, you have to prove to us that you are different from the other "Professional Politicians"; we aren't just taking your word anymore.

Thad, I’ve been a fan of yours. Now you’re telling us to give up our principles? Sorry, I don’t get my drinking water from D.C.

"It is as unwarranted and injurious for a Republican to call a Tea Partier a hobbit as it is for a Tea Partier to call a Republican a RINO.”

Wrong. One statement is FREQUENTLY TRUE, the other is NEVER TRUE.

This obsession with destroying unions won’t work, We will destroy America long before we destroy unions.

I (for one) don't want to destroy unions; I want to render them irrelevent by passing right to work laws in all states, and forbidding any unionization of the public sector. Choose to join a union? Be my guest! But don't work for the government.

“May God have mercy on us all.”

May He indeed!

The lesser of two evils is still evil.

You make a good point. It’s something to think about for those of us whose hope is waning.
