GOP establishment trying to co-opt the tea party.
“GOP establishment trying to co-opt the tea party.”
Kind of like it did with Renee Ellmers?
Sadly, it at least appears that the original Tea Party we know an love has already been co-opted by the ‘establishment’ GOP.
It seemed to go all downhill when Boehner was elected to House Speaker. It’s obvious to me that he’s a defender of the status quo in DC. The Republicans control the House of Representatives, where all spending originates. Why are they still funding HHS, Department of Education, EPA, among various other agencies/programs that the FEDERAL government has no use or business funding? Those could be defunded within a year if they had the will to do so. Instead, not only do they continue to exist, their funding INCREASES due to the baseline increases in the budget, which is something ELSE that needs to be ended.
I’m still willing to be patient for a little longer, realizing the republicans don’t control EVERYTHING. Now, if they end up next year with 63 senatorial votes(need more than 60 to offset RINOS) along with the presidency, I’ll damn well be looking for some SERIOUS results, and if I don’t get them, I’ll never vote for another republican....
