” Those freshmen who succumbed to DC and Boner, they aint it either. That West fella who calls himself a Colonel too. “ <<<<<
I was pretty shocked at West too! You know the arm twisting usually includes threats of witholding $$$ for re-elections, plum committees, etc. Most of those Tea Party elected went up there to fix things and were beholding to nobody, including Boehner, but their constituents who are on dang fire. They have real jobs and care less if they are re-elected, so nothing works with them. West may want more.
CNN exposed the PERSONAL DEBT of four of the TP caucus tonight during the dinner hour, mocking them for setting themselves up to tackle national debt! There was hardball being played for sure. None of their debt was extraordinary but was made to sound like a scandal. Outrageous!
