.... the cigar goes off in McConnell’s face

[kpete]

Tea Party message boards were abuzz with the news of what one poster in the Tea Party Nation forum called the "Pontius Pilate Pass the Buck Act of 2011".

"If Mitch McConnell thinks caving to President Obama and allowing him to raise the debt ceiling without cuts is the way to become Senate Majority Leader he is sorely mistaken," said Brent Bozell, a conservative activist and chairman of For America, a conservative leaning nonprofit, in a statement. "The American people elected him to serve as a check on Obama's appetite for out-of-control spending, not to write him a blank check to continue the binge. It's these sorts of shenanigans that got Republicans thrown out of power in 2006."

Judson Phillips, Tea Party Nation's founder, said he didn't know all the details of McConnell's plan. But based on what he does know, he said, "I'd call it the Great Sellout of 2011."

"McConnell is one of those moderate Republicans who wants to surrender early and surrender often," Phillips said. "When I start to hear about a McConnell plan or a Boehner plan, I shriek in horror."
