“I told you last week that they were operating on the basis of fear”
Real leadership does not operate on the basis of fear or intimiation. It is committed to doing the right thing for the long run. It operates on the basis of principle.
Republicans no longer deserve our support, financial or otherwise.
Tihs could be the beginning of the end for the Tea Party because republicans used them then threw them under the bus. You know how the sheeple are. They believe what they hear on cnn and msnbc and the three networks. And they all say all of this is the tea party’s fault. Including because, according to obama, “it took too long” so the lack of recovery will be the tea party’s fault.
And not one republican is standing up for them.
Rand Paul said on Hannity that the threat boner is holding over them is none of their bills will ever see the light of day. Man, I hope the tea party congressfolk come out and speak the truth. They want a war? Give them one!
Amen!
That bears repeating.
And reinforcing...
“I would rather be beaten and be a man than to be elected and be a little puppy dog. I have always supported measures and principles and not men. I have acted fearless[ly] and independent and I never will regret my course. I would rather be politically buried than to be hypocritically immortalized.”-- Davy Crockett
>> Real leadership ... operates on the basis of principle.
Amen. Well said.
I think I would like to stick around long enough to turn the entire GOP into the Tea Party. Who wants to start again when you can just take the big prize!
