Rep. Chris Van Hollen (D-Md.) told a crowd gathered outside the U.S. Capitol on Friday that House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) has given “veto power to the most extreme members of the Tea Party caucus.”

Van Hollen called on the House to vote on a Senate measure that would raise taxes on individuals making more than $200,000 in order to avoid the fiscal cliff. The Democrat claimed that the Republican Boehner will not call for the vote because of the Tea Party caucus …

So Chrissy Poo is all upset that those members of the TEA party are representing the majority of constituents in their districts that sent them to New Sodom to be conservative???? Why the nerve of those representatives not leaving behind their duties and obligations at the edge of the Beltway and just compromise to the Socialist DemocRat Party's way of economic and political slavery. Look! This is my shocked face.

If only they were this upset about the Senate, where Reid has been doing this stunt since he got power back. Or when Pelosi ran the House.

They’re mad because Boener is FINALLY acting like a Speaker, for the first time in his career. I don’t know if he can keep that up, but it’s fun to see, and the note that the DEMOCRATS are the ones that are freaking out, not the Republicans.

If someone asks, I’ll let you know why the Dems fear the Fiscal Cliff MUCH MORE than the Republicans.

Two things: 1 - Van Hollen is a liberal big government high tax socialist so he’s just falling in line with the rest of them; and, 2 - he could easily beller about Harry Reid who hasn’t passed a budget in 1300 days and won’t bring legislation to the Senate floor proving that HE is the self-appointed czar.

If taxes are to be raised, raise them on everybody. Kick the 47% freeloading in the wagon out to start pulling their weight.

Rep. Van Hollen is a loonie who should either be expelled from the nation for his pure and open hatred of freedom or committed for life to an asylum for his unwaivering love of the complete and total failure of socialism.

These socialists have gone crazy, they need to be stopped, they pose a physical threat to every single free citizen in this country.

Hitler was an expert in the big lie technique. Democrats love to repeat the big lie. "Tea party extremists" is a Democrat theme that would get no traction without the mass media. The Dems are in full smirk mode because they know the mass media will dutifully carry these lies to the low information voters. Who are the Democrat base

Chuck Schumer loves to parrot these big lie Democrat propaganda themes. Dittos for Reid and Pelosi. Seems Rep. Chris Van Hollen (D-Md) likes it too

He is trying to provoke Boehner into denying it by declaring that the Tea Party members will vote the way they're told to vote. Which, of course, they won't. And anyone who considers any of the Tea Party positions "extreme" is the enemy.
