A Tea Party exit would help the GOP

[cutter]

Listening to the left spewing their hate about the TEA PARTY reminds me of a drug addicted addict faced with having their drugs withheld. Listen to Babara Boxer compare us wanting to cut the budget to spousal abuse It's like a husband telling his wife " Honey you've charged too much and we're in trouble so I cutting up the credit card". Spousal abuse of good judgement? The politicians are addicted to spending OUR MONEY and when someone( THE TEA PARTY ) wants to cut back on their supply they go crazy. Both the dems and repubs are addicted to spending and if they continue to abuse their drug(OUR MONEY) our country will die. The TEA PARTY is an "intervention" which if successful will put us back on the road to recovery. 17TRILLION is an enormous amount of money but IF we put the country on a budget that spends LESS that we take in we can start paying off this debt and maybe in a hundred years or so we can be debt free. The problem we have with dems and rino's is in a hundred years they will be dead and they don't care what kind of country they leave for future generations. The TEA PARTY cares about the future generations and that is why we are hated by the addicts.

The party is now effectively split in two, and they're going after each other with the same energy they used to save for Democrats.

Then, just to make it worse, they've repeated 2012 by talking themselves into believing they've got it all figured out, that "the people" are somehow behind them.

Fascinating to watch.

If the RINOs win this, the country is doomed to become a bad copy of failed european socialism. Sadly, that seems to be what half of the country wants.

Because the Dems have convinced them that they can get free shit by voting for them and rich people and big corporations will pick up the tab. The RINOs go along with that.

And please don't tell them otherwise! They become very angry and call you names...It is sort of sad to see a once great political party devour itself from within.

 

[birddog]

It's kind of sad to see libs get all upset and defensive when they are told they are wrong and idiotic! They will never admit to being wrong about anything. Most of us Conservatives try to see the good in different approaches, but with the libs it's their way or the highway!

It is truely fascinating. I think it's because they only surround themselves with the like minded. Everyone they know agrees with them so they can't understand when national elections do not go there way. I can't tell you how many times I have met someone through business or a friend that within the first ten minutes they start spouting off far right talking points, believing that I am just like them, without even knowing me. I just nod and let them go because whatever I say would not change their mind.

What a steaming pile of BS. You guys are as black and white as they come. You are becoming an ideological purist party where if you do not tow the line you will get primaried. Hell, Grover Norquist has got your congressman so scared he basically runs monetary policy within the Republican Party. No beg tent for you guys, maybe a small teepee.

 

[TakeAStepBack]

Norquist runs monetary policy now? LOlberals know nothing of economics. Nothing.

You and the truth are far apart! Keep sucking the Kool-Aid SFBs!

Your guys signed a pledge to Norquist. You wouldn't want them to stop acting like simple-minded ideologues and compromise would you.

My apologies, I meant to say fiscal policy.

I dont recall signing any pledge. Got evidence I did? Otherwise stfu.

The GOP has offered numerois compromises. Remind me what Obama and Reid have offered.

I didn't realize you were a Republican Congressman. All the others signed it. And last time around, Obama and Reid took modest tax increases for the top 2% off the table. Don't tell me you've forgotten that already.

The GOP could go back to being the Whig party.

All the GOP congressmen signed it?

Prior to the November 2012 election, 238 of 242 House Republicans and 41 out of 47 Senate Republicans had signed ATR's "Taxpayer Protection Pledge", in which the pledger promises to "oppose any and all efforts to increase the marginal income tax rate for individuals and business; and to oppose any net reduction or elimination of deductions and credits, unless matched dollar for dollar by further reducing tax rates."[25][26]

The November 6, 2012 elections resulted in a decline in the number of Taxpayer Protection Pledge signatories in both the upper and lower houses of the 113th Congress: from 41 to 39 in the Senate, and from 238 to "fewer than ... 218" in the House of Representatives.[27] According to journalist Alex Seitz-Wald, losses in the election by Norquist supporters and the "fiscal cliff" have emboldened and made more vocal critics of Norquist.[28]

So that's one lie already.
Second, that was the last round of talks. I'm talking today. What have Obama and Reid offered up in the way of compromise this time?
Nothing.
So that's two lies.
You're doing well, by Dem accounting.

Thanks for this. It partially restores my faith in humanity. To think that Republican Congressmen might actually have a teachable moment... Still way too many but by the year 2100, they might have all seen the error of their ways.

The fiscal/monetary thing has been corrected. Is this really the depth of your argument?
