Boehner to GOP: Embrace the Tea Parties
By David Weigel 1/29/10 4:13 PM


This nugget from Jake Sherman and Patrick O’Connor’s preview of the House GOP retreat deserves more attention.Boehner to GOP: Embrace the Tea Parties

{House Minority Leader John} Boehner has told his rank and file to embrace the so-called tea party movement “because it will be critical as we proceed,” according to excerpts from his remarks.

I’ve been reporting for months on how, despite the non-partisan origins of the movement, the Tea Party will inevitably do the GOP more good than the Democrats.

1. "Lie down, open wide, and take it like republicon chickenhawks" - Boehner (R - Chickenhawk)

"Our party is famous for Chickenhawkery & FAIL. Let us now also become famous for Teabaggery. Smirk."

- Boehner (R - Chickenhawk)

8. Open REAL wide!

[bulloney]

2. I could give a snappy comeback on Boner's comment, but there are rules on this website.

[Xipe Totec]

3. Let them have these twice steeped bags of crap

The tebaggers is not now and never was a bipartisan movement.

4. This is all Boehner has, he is not that intelligent...

He is marginally intelligent and came in on coattails. This man cannot lead the GOP anywhere but deeper into the political wilderness. The best he can do is embrace bigots, racists and inbred morons?
He prays nightly he was as tough and saavy as Newtered Gingrich...

[daa]

5. True

He is too stupid to realize that Perot voters were NOT gop voters, there were sick of business as usual. And the reform party received almost 20% of the vote and that cost the gop more than dems as Clinton was elected. They all want to cut spending until you ask them what to cut. 2 trillion in unfunded tax cuts by Bush and Boner are the problem.

15. On the contrary, he's smart enough to know

that the Perot voters swarmed back to the GOP in the 1994 elections. He's clearly betting on the same thing happening this year.

6. This is starting to look like Tannenberg

With the democrats playing the role of the Germans.

9. Stalingrad.

And the Republicans will keep throwing everything they have at it, until they break.

[spanone]

7. good work boner, invite the crazies to join the crazies

[tanyev]

10. "Give yourself to the dark side."

[rucky]

11. GOP leaders will impose their culture more heavily on the Teabagger movement.

Not the other way around. And it'll sink 'em both.

[havocmom]

12. He really isn't very bright, is he

Does he think that 'stupid enough' is a path to the GOP nomination in 2012? Seems possible that could be correct.

[Catshrink]

13. The tanning bed has dimmed his brain.

Or what there was of one. Or does he use an instant tanner lotion?

[Robb]

14. Proof that "their" politicians are even less in touch with reality than "ours."

Train wreck ahead. I plan to slow down and gawk. :D

[B Calm]

16. I think Boner has a damn good idea there!
