The Republican party has created a monster with the Tea Party movement. It is like trying to ride a tiger...eventually you end up in his stomach. They have no way to control the lunatic fringe.
This has nothing to do with the Tea Party movement.. Why cant you stay focused without finding a villian on every posting?
Exactly. And one paragraph is all it takes to raise the debt ceiling. But............
that was before we had a Black man for president.
That alone has given rise to the most racist, divisive fanaticals that we've had since the McCarthy era.
The teaheads will fall. Not easily, but they will fall. They are working their way toward Nazism. The South ain't gonna rise again.
ooh please.. and you guys wonder why its so difficult to take you guys seriously. If anyone was ever leaning on the fence, and read these ridiculous postings, you'd answer for them what side they should lean.
The next 96 hours could determine the future of the Republican Party. If the Tea Party is coronating its own third-party candidate next summer, the moment of schism will likely be traced back to this week of debate on raising the debt ceiling.
The fissures are already evident. House Speaker John Boehner and his No.2, majority leader Eric Cantor, split on a grand bargain for deficit reduction. Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell’s plan of last resort was met with outright hostility by the House Republican conference. And the House Republicans’ preferred plan — Cut, Cap and Balance – is less than popular with the Republican pundit class who openly acknowledge it’s a PR stunt that has zero chance of becoming law.
To hear Democrats tell it, House Republicans are “isolationist,” “extreme” and “spend more time listening to each other than their leaders.” Of course, it behooves Democrats to push the idea of a Republican Party in disarray. But Republicans have given them plenty of fodder.
As two roads diverge before the GOP on the debt ceiling, it’s increasingly hard to see a path that leads to party unity. Go right and the GOP risks default and, as McConnell has warned, being blamed by the center for an economic disaster. Take the center path – there is no left turn here – and Republicans risk an angry Tea Party base and potential primary threats. From the advent of the Tea Party to purity tests and the 2010 primary challenges, the split has been a long time coming.
