The crazies going crazy for being called crazy. This means war! TEA PARTY: Boehner ‘declared war’ http://www.teaparty.org/tea-party-boehner-declared-war-31842/ The Tea Party said Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) has “declared war on the Tea Party” with his “smug and pretentious rant” against certain right-wing organizations. The group made the charge in a email to supporters. In the past two days, Boehner has repeatedly attacked the conservative groups that championed the October effort to defund ObamaCare and are now opposed to the recent budget deal negotiated by Rep. Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) and Sen. Patty Murray (D-Wash. He has criticized the groups for being more interested in raising money than actually solving problems. The letter quotes Boehner’s statement that “outside groups” were “using our members and … the American people for their own goals.” “The last time we checked, we are the American people,” the letter said. The letter goes on to refer to Boehner as a “ruling class politician” who only pretends to be conservative while remaining a “tax-and-spend liberal” at heart. It castigated him for passing a “back-room budget deal which increases discretionary spending, does nothing to reform entitlements, and fully funds Obamacare.” The deal, it said, “is an out and out betrayal of the American people.” Tea Party , founded in 2004, describes itself as “dedicated to holding tax-and-spend politicians accountable for creating America’s fiscal crisis.” The group was an early backer of the push to defund ObamaCare that led to the government shutdown in early October.
I truly feel sorry for true libertarians. They must feel embarrassed to be associated with groups such as the Tea Party.
So can someone explain what the tea party is rejecting the budget for? Even more spending cuts? Zero entitlement?
Tea Party groups are misleading Americans and have lost all credibility according to the US Speaker of the House. <iframe width="560" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/mA1zj0iH6ls" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
Yes, basically they want more spending cuts. The budget must cut well into our total debt for them to support it. Or that's my understanding from their own talking heads.
I think the Tea Party should stand on their principles and create their own political party. They have a full roster of candidates.. many very well known (Ted Cruz, Sarah Palin, Herman Cain, Michelle Bachman, Rush Limbaugh)... the heck with settling for RINOS, you betcha!
Tea Party , founded in 2004, describes itself as “dedicated to holding tax-and-spend politicians accountable for creating America’s fiscal crisis.” Uh hold on a sec, if the problem was tax and spend then at least the spending would be paid for and we would not be in the "fiscal crisis." I think they mean borrow and spend as in this piece of legislation signed by a Republican President and approved by a Republican majority in both houses: http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2012/12/07/fiscal-cliff-day-31-a-gop-entitlement-s-huge-price-tag.html#url=/articles/2012/12/07/fiscal-cliff-day-31-a-gop-entitlement-s-huge-price-tag.html Huh a TRILLION dollar unfunded entitlement. Where's the fiscal spending outrage towards the Republicans Teafolks?
