You whine about symbolic winning in the House. Boehner did what you wanted and it crashed and burned in the Senate just as many knew it would.

Politics is the art of the possible.

You refuse to to grasp the point

I know conservatives enjoy whining because they are not winning but the simple fact is there is inadequate conservative political power to prevail.

The current battles are but skirmishes, raids against an impenetrable fortress. The real battles will be fought on better ground at a selected time. We can rejoice at the battle on that day when adequate forces are directed at a very narrow defensive point and prevail.

You call what Boehner did what the Tea-Party wanted?

Are you serious?

Let me ask you something, if Tom Delay had been Speaker, do you think we would have lost that vote?

If Tom Delay had been speaker, do you think he would have been secretly negotiating for exceptions for his staff for Obamacare?

If someone like Tom Delay had been speaker, do you think that he would have sat on his hands and not communicated the need daily to vote defund Obamacare?

If someone like Ted Cruz had been speaker, do you think this half-assed, half-serious, partial effort that Boehner took to send up individual CRs would have happened?

Please, don't make me laugh.

Boehner hardly did a thing the Tea-Party wanted because his heart wasn't in it.

No, you enablers of the current status-quo don't get it.

The Tea Party does not want politics, it wants leadership.

You sound like Karl Rove and the rest of the GOP-E Leadership who are more concerned about Strategy, and tailoring their message/policy to where the most votes are verses leading from positions of principle and educating the public, like Reagan did, on why our principles are better then their principles.

Get back to us when your side decides it's more important to lead, verses, testing the political wind with their fingers.
