He shouldn't be in the position to do it again.
Still we want to support our Tea Party congressmen and women.
If Boehner is in control of the House again in the next congressional session, the Tea Party efforts will have been for naught. The guy is worse than nothing.
And they're bragging about Ryan's latest budget plan, which takes--what?--30 years to balance the budget
The opposition fields people who think like tribal warriors and suicide bombers.
How is that ever going to work out?
the time for 30 year plans was 35 years ago.
we need a 30 minute fix for the budget.
we’ll get it. It’ll hurt either way, one (the let it crash on it’s own) will hurt the worse.
The GOP establishment treated Sarah Palin with scorn.
The GOP establishment viewed the Tea Party with contempt.
The GOP establishment took down anyone who got in Mitt Romney’s way.
Obama is really, really bad — but I don’t think I’ll be voting Republican in 2012. At some point, one has to say “No more”. I’m at that point: the GOP has gone the way of the Whigs.
It’s not a death wish at all, but a wish to go along-get along and be nice and popular.
The Tea Party has upset the apple cart of the Government Party (which has a left and right wing).
The ruling elite played their left/right game to perfection making most of us believe we were important to the process and keeping the country on course when the reality was the Government Party has and continues to move the country towards Marxism. We are well into socialism, crony capitalism, and heading towards Marxist Communism just at slightly different speeds.
Only the Tea Party has been able to gain enough traction to pull on the other end of the rope and offer some resistance to this political tug of war. Libertarians have tried but unfortunately they have had some, shall we say, loose cannons leading the charge.
A Tea Party with libertarian principals could begin to put us back in sync with the brilliance of the founders.
No wonder the Tea Party is blasted from both sides. The Government Party has been exposed as a cabal of Progressives.
He shouldn't be in the position to do it again.

Great post.. it explains the Romney Republicans. Is this an exact quote? “Republican Representative Steven LaTourette, an 18-year House veteran, said the earmark ban “has affected discipline” within the party. “You can’t get 218 votes (out of 242 Republican House members) and part of that has to be if you can’t give people anything (earmarks), you can’t take anything away from them.”
We only give so we can take away? That does not sound like a constitutional argument.

” Americans have been reasonably patient with the House Republicans. “
And that, in a nutshell, is the core of the problem - we’ve been ‘reasonable’ and patient, and that’s got us to the miserable state we’re in...
Time to try some Radical Impatience....

Everybody has a ‘wake up’ moment. Unfortunately some on our side haven’t arrived at that point yet.
Just yesterday I was called a 5 year old throwing temper tantrum. I sure hope he/she grow more maturely in thinking. And soon.
