    Exclamation Tea-Party Groups Give Boehner High Marks

    Tea-Party Groups Give Boehner High Marks

    http://www.realclearpolitics.com/201...ks_253458.html

    Leaders of the small-government, tea-party movement are generally giving House Speaker John Boehner high marks for his leadership in the spending showdown, even though the agreement eventually reached Friday night fell short of the cuts the tea party once demanded.

    The relationship between the Republican leadership and these activists is one of the most important determinants of how this Congress will manage the fiscal fights to come.


    They must be thirsty, those tea partiers...

    "It's a Free Country."
    "They hate us for our Freedoms."
    "The troops are protecting your Freedom."



    You're not nuts! You're FISHERMEN!!!

    Yeah - the Tea Party is not a libertarian movement as it once was. Now it's just a fancy label that rank-and-file Republicans use as a springboard to attract votes.

    -Samuel Adams

    I don't agree with the article. All the Tea Party people I talk to here in KY want the budget to balance.

    the Tea Party is generally pissed about being conned. 95% of the comments on 912 are hostile as well. This real clear article is just the PR machine that's trying to calm the tea party down.
