Heres the unspoken narrative of the entire recent adventure in Game Theory that was the soon-to-be-terminated government shutdown. The Tea Party is Ba-aaaack!
Oh, RMJ, you kwazy Wingnut! How can you speak such blasphemy? The GOP got crushed. Emperor Barack I and his own appointed Conde Harry Reid got EVERYTHING they could have wanted. The GOPs polls are in the septic tank. Its over for you silly neanderthals. OVER!
Except for one thing The GOP did this to oppose President Obamas signature healthcare reform Glorious ObamaCare. On October 1st, the Internet portion of this monstrosity came, saw and 404′d. Reason Magazine describes the carnage.
Two weeks into the launch and its problems only keep multiplying. Consumers still cant log into the federal exchange website, let alone compare plans, apply for the promised subsidies and buy coverage. The sitewhose staggering $634 million construction cost is more than that of LinkedIn and Spotify combinedhas already been shut down once for repairs, but the problems persist. Thing are so bad that the administration wont even reveal basic information about enrollment rates. Nor will it make its IT folks available to explain the technical glitches, insisting that pent up demand is overwhelming capacity.
Oh, and Senator Cruz basically made the Democrats fight for a whole bunch of things that they already had. And as for poll issues that sound just wrong, check out how David Pryor, Mark Begich and Mary Id vote for ObamaCare Again Landrieu are doing lately. Thats three Red State Dem Senators with Lincoln Chafee 2006 re-election poll numbers.*
So obviously John McCain and Peter King both popped a vessel over what Senator Cruz did to the Republicans. John McCain wants Ted Cruz and Mike Lee held personally responsible for the government shutdown. According to him, elections have consequences. One only wishes he would have acted like it in 2008.
Peter King just about treats Ted Cruz the way he used to treat opponents of the War in Iraq. He claims Ted Cruz strengthened ObamaCare. Really? What he did was demonstrated in bold relief which members of both the GOP and the Democratic Party will most aggressively support it as it 404′s its way across cyberspace on its way to signing up 1.7% of the people it was intended to cover. The worse this rout becomes, the smarter Ted Cruz looks in comparison to John McCain and Peter King.
What just happened here was a wake-up call to the previously quiescent Tea Party. Red State Dems who champion ObamaCare and Republicans that are too weak such as Mitch McConnell are going to spend the entire time between now and November of 2014 running for their lives like a QB behind the Oakland Raiders Offensive Line. A whole bunch of Sunshine Conservatives now fear the fact that the Tea Party is now back. They are not happy campers. Things just got kicked up a notch. People cant just pretend they are Conservative anymore. That explains the incoherent rage of John McCain and Peter King.
*-Senator Chafee was decisively unelected that year.
The battle for liberty today is totally within the GOP (RINOs vs Tea Party). The DemWit power cartel long ago purged any who even questioned, much less opposed their plan for top-down, one-size-fits-all (but them) tyranny. Within the GOP we have tea party whose desire to return to Constitutional government is proclaimed extreme. We expect the DemWits to do this, but Republicans? (aka: RINOs) As the socialist cancer slowly metastasized in the Democrat party the vaccine of liberty must now be applied to the GOP, to cure and prevent the abject cowardice we saw from so many RINOs (especially Senate) in this budget showdown (emphasis on SHOW?). The third party to emerge should be a rejuvenated freedom loving GOP wrestled from the staid cowards now in “leadership”, all too comfortable with their back of the bus surrender monkey status. To be rebuilt on the Judeo-Christian foundation of The Declaration of Independence and the Constitution, so brilliantly conceived by the Founders! And not seen since Ronald Renauldus Maximus Reagan. God bless America America bless God!!! (see 2 Chronicles 7:14).
Damn straight
Reagan had core beliefs and conviction. The GOP brand today stands for neither.
send it back with used toilet paper?
A realist among the perpetually optimistic.
Be sure to include a photocopy of the check you wrote to a Tea Party candidate.
“Well all be getting pre-paid envelopes from the RNC soon, if not already, begging for money to help elect more Liberal Republicans, I know how I will use mine!!”
Me, too! Any TEA Party candidate will get my money directly! The RNC can kiss my overtaxed white ass!
I do understand what you mean, but it did get me thinking. I think I will start returning them with an enclosed tea bag instead of filing them in the trash.
Lord Haw Haw (Pete King) needs to be sent packing.
Maybe not, but establishment Republicans are.
And maybe we've got a few years ahead of ourselves as the minority party, but it's time to do some housecleaning. I think what'll happen is the Dems who are to the far left will become a fringe group and fat cat D's and R's will become much smaller parties, eventually making room for the election of a Tea Party President.

I just had some fun. I called my RINO senator’s office and asked the woman who answered if the senator had signed up for Obamacare yet. LOL
There was a long pause and she finally she said the website wasn’t working well. ROTFL
I told her I wasn’t leaving my name because there would be no point sending me literature, I wasn’t sending them any more money.
BTW - the local offices actually answer the phone. The Washington offices don’t listen to constituents.
All this quibbling did make the elected openly take a stand on their positions,
and that my FRiend, is gold. Now lets see them Town hall before 2014.
I agree .. the secret is to just DO .. and not worry about what the left in Congress or the media have to say about it.
If people have a problem with it .. they should study the “Underground” that developed during the Nazi years in Europe. Hundreds of thousands of people were saved through these people. I believe it saved many of their countries as well. While these people had to resort to drastic means to achieve the removal of Nazism from their countries; we have a strong and capable Constitution to help us accomplish the same thing .. but without the violence - as seen on the left.
Let the Tea Party work behind the scenes and just get stuff done and get the right people elected.
We need lots more Ted Cruz’s, Mike Lee’s, Trey Gowdy’s to put this country back together.
LET’S ROLL!!!
The RNC/GOP-e has told us - very clearly - that our votes and our money are no longer needed, by them. Good. I’m happy to accommodate!
Yes, they do answer. However, for every phone call they receive from you, for every dollar you send them, for every email they receive there is a lobbyist out there at lunch with them handing them huge dollars to forget they ever heard from you. Tom Tancredo said something like, “For every 25,000 letters I receive from constituents, I receive $25,000 at lunch to forget about those letters.”
Good,
Kick out the freeloading RINOS, freeloading on the backs of True Conservatism.
“The RNC/GOP-e has told us - very clearly - that our votes and our money are no longer needed, by them.”
Yes, they did. They said they listen far more to the Democrat media and Democrats Presidents than to We the People.
Ooooh! I like that idea!! Calling Cornpone’s office, right now!
