Since there is no actual “Tea Party”, this is an odd promise.

If he means that he will always stand for cutting taxes then we’ll read his lips.

For his sake and the party he leads, this had better be true.

He’s gotten it. He doesn’t want to be running ahead of an irate
mob of Americans chasing him with pitchfork and torches.

I predict he will let us down by 9:30am tomorrow. No big deal. Someone should tell John that we never had faith in him to begin with. This is much deeper than seats and chairmanships. It is about a complete Fed/State realignment.

The Democrats let the people down. If the Republicans do the same will this country unite around a new party? Just a question. Don’t flame.

It’s a promise he can’t keep.

The first “test” is going to be the raising of the US debt ceiling. This HAS to happen, because of the ramifications of the US defaulting on its debt. But it’s going to p*ss a lot of people off.

The goal of the inbound TEA Party Republican Freshmen should be a deal to cut future US spending - possibly entitlements - to return to a balanced budget by 2012 or 2013 in exchange for raising the debt ceiling in early 2011. But the issue will be presented, and perceived, as the debt ceiling alone.

If he wants to Talk the Talk, he’d better damn well be prepared to Walk the Walk.

John, you better not. Because you guys had a chance when we had the presidency and both the House and Senate and we are still funding NPR today.

He may wish he wasn’t the new Majority leader. ‘We’ will keep our collective eye on John and the rest of the repubs.

That is a very sane statement. Having folks attack you is quite troublesome. We don’t like Government. I might have to kill it.

He did a few good things to keep the GOP house in line, but overall I do not trust his motivation.

He should be booted out and new blood brought in. He represents business as usual, with all the disgusting connotations that has......
