Whatever we're all doing, lets keep on doing it! The gang of 8 bill dies on January 3rd if we hold the line. Then they have to start all over again!

Didn’t some guy write an obituary about the tea party a couple of days ago?

I guess I’m kinda liking the idea of living rent free in their heads like this.

Obama;s super ego will cause him to overstep his authority to the extent that even the weak spined congress will have to rein him in with an Impeachment action. He is truly running wild now as is his entire administration, especially the Just Us department.

To the general public who now polls 65% that lays the blame for the border surge directly on Obama, the NYT’s attempt at narrative building is an exploding cigar.

Truth is that the Tea Party is just a whole lot of Americans of all stripes that do not want what Obama is doing. The left tries hard to group them, but they know the number is great and the majority called Tea Party by them, attend no meetings.

They are the relatively non loud majority who have very few in the Government that represent them.

Thing is, they are pushing back against this Unconstitutional government that is in place.

[Buckeye McFrog]

The Tea Party is either going to succeed in pulling the GOP to the right, or it will become a party in it’s own right as the GOPe quietly withers away.

The Dems will continue moving in a hard-core Socialist direction and will continue to look more and more like a European Labour Party.

No end to the polarization is in sight.

GOPe is the road kill on the yellow line in the middle of the highway.

New York Times: 'Ascendant Tea Party' Responsible for Obama Amnesty Defeat

This proves that Patriotism STILL survives!

[LucianOfSamasota]

Thank God for the Tea Party!

[libertylover]

Did the NYT really refer to “amnesty” or did you change the headline? The NYT is not normally that open with the truth.

[Fido969]

I'm confused. Is it the “death of the Tea Party” or the “ascendancy of the Tea Party”?

What is the liberal headline this week?

[kabar]

The Gang of 8 has never been sent to the House. If it were, it would be blue-slipped and sent back to the Senate to remove any appropriation language due to the origination clause that all appropriation legislation must originate in the House.

The only way the Gang of 8 bill or something like it gets passed is if the House passes any immigration legislation that could then be used as a Trojan horse to get the Gang of 8 bill or something like it passed out of conference. And beware of the lame duck session of Congress even if the Reps win the Senate.

Remember Mississippi!

[SandRat]

Because they are not East oast Progressive/Liberal/Commies.

[AFreeBird]

I thought the TEA Party was dead/dying. Now it’s ascendnt?
