The house presently has control of the purse strings with the republicans in control of the house. Now they are setting up a 12 member committee with a maximum of three tea party members voting. One of the republican senators will cave and the democrats will get whatever they want.

This is how they are going to marginalize the tea party.

No, ALL the tea party members in the House will end up voting on this.

So why do I keep hearing about congress running the plan by Obamugabe before it is considered?

Is Herr Ubama doesn’t like it, he can say so with his VETO pen. These folks will get played like a fiddle is they aren’t more cautious of their “co-equal Constitutional power”.

This is how they are going to marginalize the tea party temporarily.

Fixed.

[Psalm 144]

This is how they are going to marginalize the tea party.

For those of you who think the GOP can be reformed, do you have a target date to accomplish this miracle, or is your patience infinite? Serious question. Of course this cycle is too close, but the question remains.

[dervish]

I agree.

It is better to have control of the House then parity in the Senate.
