McCain vs. the Tea Party
New York Times ^
Posted on 07/27/2011 11:53:56 AM PDT by Windy City Conservative
Mr. McCain mocked Tea Party-allied Republicans in the House for believing wrongly, he said that President Obama and Democrats will get the blame for a default if Republicans refuse to increase the nations debt ceiling. By that flawed logic, Democrats would have no choice but to pass a balanced budget amendment and reform entitlements and the Tea Party Hobbits could return to Middle Earth, he said, quoting a Wall Street Journal editorial. This is the kind of crack political thinking that turned Sharron Angle and Christine ODonnell into G.O.P. nominees, he jeered, referring to two losing Tea Party candidates for the Senate in 2010.

What were the people of Arizona thinking when they reelected this fool? He was a lousy senator, a lousy presidential candidate and now he is a lousy senator again.

"McCain is correct. The media will certainly see to it that Democrats wont get any blame." In the short term the media will blame the Republicans but history will lay this in the lap of the Obama presidency -- and Obama knows it.

Tea Party Hobbits could return to Middle Earth, he said
Funny, that...
When the hobbits returned to the Shire, they found out that some thugs patterned after classic communists had taken over. They at first had promised “sharing”, but the thugs just took what people produced for their own use.
And the hobbits, fresh back from some battle hardening, took to kickin’ some thugasses out of the Shire.
Yes, Johnny, good analogy.

(sigh of exasperation) Yep. I cannot begin to tell you for how many decades I've heard that same sentiment expressed. This so-called "housecleaning" has been going on for all of my adult life. Please enlighten me as to when, in YOUR opinion, this GOP epiphany will finally occur.
I WANT to believe that Sarah Palin can do for the national GOP what she did for the Alaska GOP. If so, I'll gladly admit that I'm wrong in believing that, at present, our dream of a coup d'etat within the GOP is a pipedream.

The House needs to re-vote on CCB and go home. Shut down the House, turn out the lights reminiscent of Nancy Pelosi and go home.

So, about what time do you usually get this pissed off?

Life gets much simpler for a conservative when he at last realizes he owes the GOP nothing.

The correct response to McCain is the same response Boehner should be giving to Obama and Reid. If you don’t like my plan, put your own plan before the people with specifics.
