That's because none of it surprises me. While I didn't make a prediction on
open forum, I suspected that president Obama was going to win reelection,
and already had an idea as to what sort of policies he was going to try and put in place.



So when did the tea party actually become a political party?
Is anyone actually registered to vote "tea party"?
Does "tea party" come up as an alternative choice on the ballot?


The tea party is simply an organized group like many others across the country. They exist on both sides of the political fence.



Even if that were the case, why do you care?



*Chuckle* You post this kind of stuff then accuse others of ranting? yeah right.

Got any examples, see bolded?

You seemed to suggest that the speaker was following libertarians,
being led around by the nose. If that wasn't the case then lets go back to
your earlier post...

So it took time before he eventually gave in to the democrat party.
That doesn't prove he was being "led around" by someone else.

Your logical fallacies still abound, I see. <grin>

Sure, a few examples of groups who support the democrats would be..
NAACP
Center for Progressive Leadership
Sierra Club

Ok, lets explore it.
When you said that he was being lead around by the nose, what
makes you so sure that was the case?

Glen seems to be suffering from rightwing amnesia. Maybe we can help jog his memory.

You're not paying attention,
I haven't denied the existence of the tea party.
My point was that they are not an actual political party, as the republicans
and democrats are. People are talking about them as though they are a political party.
When you are able to change your voter registration to "tea party" let me know.

So, are you saying those groups have no impact on our political system? Unions---no impact? LGBT advocacies, no impact on legislation whatsoever?

All just innocent little lambs standing by the sidelines who never raise funds or lend support for candidates......Just like the innocuous, saintly and completely non-activist Tea Party? (According to you.)

Either you're a total idiot, or you think we are.

Fear of being "primaried" by Tea Party backed candidates is one of the things weak-willed Republican incumbents buckle to. Boehner wants to hold onto his seat, so does McConnell. They finally figured out that it's better for their party to live to fight another day than die keeping up an asinine Ted Cruz tactic. So they manned up and did what had to be done, Tea party zealots be damned.

You remind me of the 1980s and the mobsters who adamantly insisted the Mafia didn't exist. They were full of shit and so are you.

Bob questioned this, by asking me to give him some examples of those on
the other side. I simply gave him some examples.

Oh, you said more than that in other posts.

You accused the speaker of caving to Democrats. I see what he did as standing up to far right whackjobs, sent to congress with the endorsement and support of tea party organizations, and ultimately doing what I believe to have been the right thing.. I applaud his showing of backbone against the tide of lunacy that has infected his party like an explosive diarrhea causing parasite.
