Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus said Vice President Biden should apologize for reportedly calling Tea Party members "terrorists." Biden is said to have made the remarks Monday during a closed-door meeting with Democrats on Capitol Hill. Priebus said on Twitter: .@VP more than crossed a line today when he called fiscal conservatives "terrorists". I demand an apology.

That is my worry too. Boehner’s spineless performance so far may make people rethink voting for Republicans last year.

Vice President Biden . . . call[ed] Tea Party members "terrorists."

Once upon a time, the British said the same thing.

Good point. But I think that it can also be said that it is clear we need MORE Tea Party Members.

The only terrorists in D.C are the lawmakers that are bombing our children and grandchildrens future.

I can't remember a time I have been more concerned about our country. This is worse than the divide we had over the Vietnam War.

vote conservative regardless of party. I left the Repubics years ago. I saw right through them. There are only a few good ones left.

To be polite - imbecilic is the narrative word.

Don't give up on us yet.

As Churchill said:

"You can always count on Americans to do the right thing - after they've tried everything else."

Biden is as important as the average cockroach, but not as smart.

Thanks Nachum.

Biden got his ‘plugs’ back when it was a relatively new procedure and the end result looked like rows of corn. I've always suspected that they drilled too deep and messed up some of his brain matter.

Um....I think we have the post of the day!

Tea Party (((ping)))

I’d rather the Chairman apologize for the Republican caucus in Washington betraying every principle and promise they made to the Tea Party right down to allowing time to read legislation before a vote.

Hey Joe!

I am the Tea Party, and I wouldn't give a bucket of piss for your future.....

Are you saying Australians believe the US has a bunch of dumbazzes in Wash DC? The Australians are right!!

[skeeter]

This is supposed to make us feel better about the GOP’s epic capitulation.

Me too. It’s because the same people who caused trouble then, ie: counter culture, draft dodgers, and change- through-violence people are now in charge of Washington.
