House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) has been frustrated by the Tea Party movement that gave him his Speakership after the historic 2010 midterm elections, but he said on Thursday that there was not much of a difference between establishment Republicans and those in the Tea Party. 

"I'm not going to get into this distinction between the Tea Party and Republicans," Boehner said, according to Talking Points Memo. "It's a distinction you're going to have a hard time finding."

Boehner was responding to a question about establishment-backed candidates and incumbents who won their primary elections on Tuesday in Oregon, Idaho, Kentucky, and two others in Georgia who advanced to a runoff.

He said there were "a lot of good candidates running across the country" and that he "thought the election went well."

	"If we must have an enemy at the head of Government, let it be one whom we can oppose, and for whom we are not responsible, who will not involve our party in the disgrace of his foolish and bad measures." - Alexander Hamilton "We don't intend to turn the Republican Party over to the traitors in the battle just ended. We will have no more of those candidates who are pledged to the same goals as our opposition and who seek our support. Turning the Party over to the so-called moderates wouldn’t make any sense at all." -- President Ronald Reagan "A thing moderately good is not so good as it ought to be. Moderation in temper is always a virtue; but moderation in principle is always a vice." - Thomas Paine 1792 "It does not take a majority to prevail, but rather an irate, tireless minority, keen on setting brushfires of freedom in the minds of men." - Samuel Adams "If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen." - Samuel Adams

I don’t see what’s so hard about distinguishing the two, the Tea Party Conservatives tell the truth and faithfully represent their constituents while the establishment GOP is a bunch of castrated democrat wanna be’s.

[MaxMax]

Closing distinction to gather support, confusing voters.

I never see the GOP attack the RATs as hatefully as they do the Conservatives.
So now they're adding another tactic and many will fall for it.

I'm trying to find the distinction between the GOP and DNC.

[MaxMax]

oops,, I’m trying to find the distinction between the GOP and DNC. /S

[Steelers6]

We can tell the difference easily Boner, when Harry Reid says I would prefer legislation but if you don’t pass amnesty the President will do it thru executive order that should be an immediate condemnation by the whole caucus, and throw Checks and Balances back in Kochhead Harry Reid and take it to court. Grow a pair

You have excellent graphics, smooth!

[lee martell]

Hah! I should’nt be laughing at poor Mr. John. His Tanning salon is about to be padlocked! John Boehner was last seen in front of the Salon dressed in swim trunks and flip flops, aggressively trying to yank those locked doors open. Then yelling out Lois Lerner!You Did This!!! You’ll get yours, Damn You!! ,,,,That Weeper of The House GIF is hysterical.

[Deagle]

Heh, much closer to the comparison, hate to say!

[ArtDodger]

Actually, it is hard to distinguish anything with your blinders, on, Johnny.

Could be the booze.

[Oratam]

Seems Boner’s been reading Slate.

[Georgia Girl 2]

The difference is RINO instead of republican

[glennaro]

I am beyond certain that the House Boner really, truly believes this ... just as he really, truly believes that the Democrat-Socialist Party leaders can be reasoned with.

[tumblindice]

Boner was cozened on day one. We needed a leader, but got a weeper.
