Greenblatt has confused “purity” with principle.

"We could end up with taxes going up for everybody and Republicans getting the blame, which from the standpoint of the Tea Party is the worst of all possible outcomes," says Jack Pitney, a government professor at Claremont McKenna College in California.

I'm glad that NPR seeks out such unbiased sources for their stories.

Just a National Socialist Radio wet dream.

We’re getting ready for the fireworks.

"Several departing Republicans have decried the no-compromise style of their younger colleagues in recent weeks, "a bunch of extremists ..." as retiring Rep. Steve LaTourette of Ohio after the abortive House vote on a tax proposal last week."

I'll be so glad when this passive-aggressive jerk is gone. You never see Democrats trashing their base this way.

NPR will be taken care of...in time. The marxists aren’t always going to be in power...and the voice of the left, NPR, doesn’t even pretend objectivity anymore...not that they were ever good at it.

Their time will come...funding will be cut.

Ted Cruz, win

Richard Cranium Lugar, gone, win
Kay Squirrely Hutchison, gone, win
Olympia Yellow Snowe, gone, win

GOP retains house control, win

Two GOP Senate candidates who should have known better stepped on SRM abortion roadside bombs, growing pains

The GOPe fielded another loser, lost cause

When you are taking flak you are over the target. Any publicity is good publicity.

[johnthebaptistmoore]

How arrogant can the worldwide left get?

[LibLieSlayer]

npr will cease before the TEA Party does. You cannot kill an idea you communist MF’ers... but we can kill your funding and sue your company into bankruptcy. Not now mind you... but one day we will again control the purse and all of you on the left will feel exactly what we are feeling today.

If we, the people were actually represented in Congress, we wouldn't be forced to pay for leftist extremist hate speech with our hard-earned tax dollars.

[Tau Food]

Most of the tea party folks that I know were opposed to Obamacare, but don’t want to cut the big entitlements - Social Security and Medicare. I think that’s why it’s so hard to find any politicians talking specifically about cuts to those entitlement programs.

And that’s why taxes are going up.

Is The Party Over For The Tea Party?

I believe that the Republican betrayal now in progress where the Republican leadership is determined to become the tax collector for the Democrats will invigorate and enlarge the TEA Party.

The truest words in the English language:
The Republicans will betray you!

[RJL]

It’s about time for the party (gravy train) to be over for NPR and other government spending on crap that we cannot afford.

Republicans refuse to fight, they will never defund the massively liberal NPR.

[Proud2BeRight]

“Republicans refuse to fight, they will never defund the massively liberal NPR.”

That’s a reason we need to have the Tea Party replace or completely displace the RINO/establishment limp-wrist GOP. This nation is now a one party system.... the liberals.

[Chainmail]

Ping.

[DustyMoment]

NPR or some other leftist mouthpiece drags this one out of mothballs about every 3 - 6 months.

You expected people so trapped in the 50s to report CURRENT news!!???

Not happenin’!

[redhead]

They just don’t get it. The “Tea Party” is not an entity. It’s a mindset. But I don’t think we should try to tell us. They won’t believe us, in the first place, and secondly, we can do a lot of damage if everybody thinks we’re toothless or dead.

[redhead]

Erk! “I don’t think we should tell THEM!” Not, “tell us.” Sorry, guys...

[driftless2]

This is all just wishful thinking by the nation’s libs and leftists who hate objecting voices to their plans for the future Marxist totalitarian state. How nice if some TPers would stage a personal demo outside these lib dweebs dwellings.
