Tea Baggers to Elect Charlie Sheen as New Speaker of The House Majority
Nine out of Ten Tea Baggers Believes in the Unconstitution and Celebrates Unbirthdays
Tea Party Leader Wants To Target John Boehner
Barely two months into office, Speaker John Boeher is already raising the ire of some Tea Party leaders:
A national tea party group is in revolt against House Speaker John Boehner and wants to see him defeated in a 2012 primary, arguing that he looks “like a fool” in the debate over spending cuts and makes less sense than actor Charlie Sheen.
“You look like a fool,” Tea Party Nation founder Judson Phillips wrote in a post on the group’s website, directing his message at the Ohio Republican. “Charlie Sheen is now making more sense than John Boehner.”
Boehner “did not get the message” from the tea party movement demanding big cuts to federal spending, Phillips said, and “the honeymoon is over.” The movement should respond, he said, by finding “a candidate to run against John Boehner in 2012 and should set as a goal, to defeat in a primary, the sitting Speaker of the House of Representatives.”
Phillips said Boehner has backpedaled on his promise to cut $100 billion from the 2011 budget with a continuing resolution spending bill passed in the House last month that included $61 billion in cuts, and is declaring victory before the House and Senate have agreed on a bill that funds the government for the rest of the year and not just the next two weeks. And the messages coming from the speaker have been confusing and contradictory, Phillips said.
“John Boehner is saying when the Senate comes back and they start negotiating with ‘Dingy’ Harry Reid, who does not want to make any cuts, the $61 billion figure is not safe,” Phillips wrote. “Then, Boehner had the gall to have a ‘mission accomplished’ moment when he declared they had fulfilled their commitment by passing a budget in the House that cut only $61 billion. Not making it law or making it happen, but only by passing the budget in the House.”
If nothing else, this demonstrates the political naivite of some Tea Party members. Do they not realize that passing legislation in the House is the only thing that John Boehner can do? Once it passes the House, it heads to the Senate, where Boehner has no control and little influence, and from there it would head to the White House where the President could veto any bill presented to him and start the whole process all over again
Perhaps, Mr. Phillips needs to sit down and watch this
