Chris Matthews: Tea Party "Un-American" For Not Compromising
RealClearPolitics ^ | November 30, 2011 | NA

In an appearance Tuesday at Washington, D.C.'s Politics & Prose bookstore, MSNBC "Hardball" host Chris Matthews told a standing room-only audience that his new book "Jack Kennedy: Elusive Hero" was important because it taught "leadership," and that's something many people today don't know about - especially under President Barack Obama, Jeff Poor at The Daily Caller reported.

the American people have to decide if they want this crowd to run the country because they’re running it right now.

Oh really?

2010 budget, Crybaby Boehner caves and the Dems get higher spending and greater deficits.

Debt ceiling "crisis", Crybaby Boehner caves and the Dems get higher spending and greater deficits. which leads to...

The Stupor Committee, which leads to higher spending and greater taxes.

Now Crybaby Boehner leads the House in voting for higher immigration. Just what we need with high unemployment and a weakened economy.

It certainly doesn't look like the Tea Party is running things, it looks like the Dems are running things, and I include Boehner in this group.

I want Crissy Matthews to drop dead, but as a compromise, I am willing to accept his just going away forever, never to be seen or heard from again!

When pure compromises with the impure, what do you get?

When good (individual freedom) compromises with evil (communism), what do you get?

OBAMA!

Isn’t Chris the one who usually threw a hissy fit when people were calling Obama and his buddies jeramiah wright and bill ayers anti-america during 2008? real Radicals!

He was offended and completely puzzled and grilled Bachmann, when Bachmann kept pointing out the FACTS!

Chris has some audacity.

Do not be yoked together with unbelievers. For what do righteousness and wickedness have in common? Or what fellowship can light have with darkness?

Compromise didn’t help us win independence from England and it isn’t going to help us restore the Constitution.

Churchill was against this kind of compromise. “I refuse to remain impartial as between the fire, and the fire brigade.”

What continues to amaze me is that liberals cannot grasp the very simple principle that you cannot go on raising taxes forever. At some point (and I think we are already past it), increased taxes result in decreased revenues. I'm all in favor of revenue enhancements - like, for instance, unyolking small business from burdonsome regulations, allowing them to make a profit and collecting taxes on that increased profit.

Though the exact point when the amount of taxation produces the highest revenue (see Laffer Curve) may be unknown, I sure as hell know that if you let businesses make a few more bucks, and collect taxes on the profit, you'll end up with more tax revenue at the end of the day. I have no confidence that raising tax rates will accomplish that and, in fact, I think the opposite is more likely.

So Chrissy, we'll compromise. Get out of our way and let us build a bigger pie, take a little smaller percentage out of it, and you can still have more pie on your plate!

Negotiation with the RAT party is like negotiating with an arsonist about how much gasoline he gets to spread in your home before lighting a match.

Not when you are being asked to compromise with something that is un-American
