Hoekstra should stop giving us advice. We tell him and the rest of those GOP Politial fixtures what to do.

I never trust anyone who looks like he/she has a year round sun tan. That is why Boehner is the wrong guy to be in the fight on our behalf.

The Liberals didn't have to back off on Nancy Pelosi. She was strong enough to ram her crap down the throat of America. That's power and Boehner needs to understand how to use power.

Being the angriest conservatives does not make posters here better conservatives than anyone else.

As a group, and as a Party, it is important that we stand united. It is also important that we not become so focused on winning the battle that we lose the war.

I like Boehner. I like Hoekstra. I trust that they will act on behalf of what is best for this country.

Seriously? That's what you have a problem with? I couldn't care less what color his skin is, I just wish he would stop crying all the time. Is he a man or a little girl?

If we didn't keep the pressure on Rep Boner, he would have folded in the negotiations for $500k in cuts to the military and a bottle of bronzer. I have no faith in the GOP and until they earn some, I will not be giving slack.

Majority Leader Boner leaving the White House after budget talks.

There Is No More Time. There Is No More Breathing Room. If Hoekstra doesn’t get it, there’s a reason he’s a FORMER rep. If Bohner doesn’t get it, he needs to get the hell out of the way and let someone lead who does get it.

I suspect that the problem is that the tea party BLOC that we now have is refusing to budge, realizing that if not now, when? If not they, who?

These GOP "formers" like to come out of the woodwork to chastise their former party so they can get press for themselves. It's akin to - Me, me, me! Over here! Lookee here!

The press lives and loves to see this happen as they think it'll fracture any kind of cohesiveness within the right.

“Hoekstra: Tea Party Should Back Off on Boehner.”

BS. This is the only thing Democrats understand.

Hey, Hoekstra... You do not tell the TEA Party what to think, say or do. WE WILL TELL YOU, and the rest of your spineless establishment clones EXACTLY WHAT YOU WILL DO! GOT IT?

Now, SIT DOWN, and STFU.

I think we need a new political paradigm by restoring an old one.

Government only does what everyone can agree to it doing. That means if the democrats can’t agree to goverment doing a lot less then we should NOT share a common government with them socialist scum!

Compromising with the democrats is like compromising with a criminal to steal less from you.

For the most part I like Hoekstra, but he needs a reality check. He’s there because of us and he works for us. Maybe he’s just sticking up for a friend, but this was just wrong for him to make this statement publicly. Divide and conquer.

The best way to handle Hoekstra’s misstep is to ignore it. Otherwise, getting our panties in a wad over it just feeds the media’s ability to claim we’re in disarray and the Teap Party is the problem.

Anyway, this is a minor blip. Ignore it.

I'll make the two points I always make at times like this:

1) Debt default/economic depression/hyperinflation/loss of reserve currency status are a stones throw away. Nothing short of massive, immediate action can save us.

2) These guys/gals know why they got elected and willingly took the challenge. They also knew full well what they're up against with the Dems and a hostile media.

And one more - they all know, or should have known, the tea party would keep their feet to the fire.

Sorry, all out of sympathy.

Conservatives are urging their grass-roots colleagues to mute their criticisms of House Speaker John Boehner and the GOP leadership, and to get behind their efforts to address out-of-control spending in Washington.

When those efforts to "address out-of-control spending in Washington" end up being watered down, we have a problem that needs to be addressed.

We are PAST THE POINT OF COMPROMISE. There is no room for it anymore.

We must end the spending or perish as a viable economy. NOW is the time. Let the RATS shut the government down and lets have the train wreck now. Putting it off only makes it worse.

...former GOP Rep. Pete Hoekstra said the tea-party faithful need to give Boehner “a little bit of breathing room.”

Breathing room is what allowed these miscreants to get us where we are today. Hell no! Time to double down. Keep the pressure on and increase it.
