Whether we hang in there is another story -- but a message was sent today by our Tea Party guys.
The message was, "Okay. We'll play. BUT NO MORE."
So now it comes down to what REALLY happens. After these three weeks, does Boehner do the right thing, or does he cave? Is Cantor as tough as I hope?
If not, then I will apologize to you. There's certainly a possibility of that.
But I am hoping for the best. The trend from our Tea Party votes is positive. The leadership only expected 24 defections. There were FORTY-FOUR!
Slap.
“Tea Party” in the singular form = GOP
I support the INDEPENDENT TEA PARTIES.. PLURAL.. SMALL LOCAL INDEPENDENT TEA PARTIES are our only hope for the tea party agenda not some quazi GOP “subsect” calling themselves THE “tea party”

I agree with you, the trend is our friend here. 44 Nays gives Boehner plenty of cover to tell the dems “we won’t have enough votes for a CR next time, and I’m not going to ask.”
The question is: Will he say it? Let’s call our Congressmen and give them the message! This is it and no more! That gives the Republican Congressmen the reason to tell Boehner “no more CR’s” and Boner can play it straight-faced, because he’ll be telling 0bama the truth.
The subtle nuances you think you are so smart to have noticed, are what has lead us to trillions in debt and Obamacare. Lazamataz, you sound like a fan of a 1-15 NFL Team, saying, “don’t worry, they are going to make the playoffs next week”. You have NO credibility with attempt as reassurance. We’ve heard it all before and we keep getting the same crap.
