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.

Clean our own party? When would we start with McCain? I assume it would be 2016.

McCain is correct. The media will certainly see to it that Democrats wont get any blame.

See, this is why I am against the Boner plan to compromise with the dems.
To understand that RINO’s are for raising the debt ceiling, and Tea Partiers are against it is easy and simple to understand.

Now I am convinced that the only reason the rats and rino are going nuts over this is because of their investments are going too tank and they can’t touch them.

Third Partries dont work. We must clean our party.Third party out of the blue Presidential bids don't work, and yes, we should clean up the GOP. But, I see nothing wrong with a third party judiciously cropping up and gaining steam at the local and state levels. They could caucus with the GOP when possible, or grow on their own, as issues dictate without giving away a Presidential election.

Sounds like he is unhappy, because it’s not politics as usual.

McShame doesn’t understand, if he ever did, that for people of principle, it’s not about who gets the credit or the blame. It’s about doing what they believe is right for America.
