Tea Party leader: Boehner must go



Tea Party Nation leader Judson Phillips called on House Speaker John Boehner "to go" and be replaced by a "Tea Party Speaker of the House" in a blog post Wednesday morning, the same day that Jenny Beth Martin, co-founder of the Tea Party Patriots, said that her group was looking into the same idea.

"Now Boehner is in the process of surrendering again. He is surrendering not to Obama, but to the status quo in Washington," Phillips wrote. "The House passed Cut, Cap and Balance, which would cut $111 billion from the budget. It would cap spending and set a good course for the future."

Martin sounded a similar theme at a breakfast sponsored by The Christian Science Monitor, saying that in a just-completed poll of their members, four-fifths are not satisfied with Boehner and nearly three-quarters would like to have a new Speaker of the House.

"Maybe we should see about a different Speaker right away," she said.

If America is to continue to be a functioning country.

9. It's not Boehner's fault, someone gave him a left handled calculator

Just say that on twitter :rofl:

[arbusto_baboso]

17. 'Baggers don't WANT a functioning country.

Oh sure, they ACT patriotic, and (mis)quote from Founding Fathers all the time. But ultimately, they either want their way or dissolution of the USA. Bottom line. If you don't believe that, then you haven't been really listening to them.

4. You get more of what you feed...

Feed the crazy and fanatical...

[DaveofCali]

5. They are determined to drive all of us off the cliff

The ultimate consequence of the Republicans going farther and farther to the right.

6. I love it--that said I hope that the tea party candidates take a major licking in '12

they take themselves way too seriously and are dangerous.

[gateley]

7. Who? Joe Walsh? I wonder if Cantor is even Bagger-enough

for them.

Seriously, never thought I'd feel relief that BOEHNER was the Speaker, but it's a lot less frightening some of the others.

We can't let these people continue to multiply (they're like Tribbles). And remember, this is what it looks like when YOU DON'T VOTE! *wagging finger*

10. Tea Party leader skips out on $640,000 bill, then chastises others about fiscal responsibility.

You can't make this sh*t up:

They tout fiscal responsibility but tonight a national Tea Party group headquartered in Franklin is accused of skipping out on a half million dollar hotel bill. The Venetian Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas is suing Tea Party Nation over a convention the group canceled last year. Last year thousands of people from around the country paid up to $549 to see Sarah Palin at a Tea Party rally here in Nashville, but convention organizers were criticized for being more concerned about profits than politics. Now, Tea Party Nation and its founder Judson Phillips are being sued by the Venetian Casino Resort in Las Vegas for Breach of Contract. The suit asks for over $640,000 in fees and interest for canceling a convention scheduled for July of 2010. Phillips runs Tea Party Nation out of his home. When contacted by phone, Phillips told FOX17 he couldn't comment on the suit because he hadn't seen it.

12. nice find!

:thumbsup:

11. was there ever a doubt the stupid debt ceiling was about removing him

and nothing to do with the debt. The Cantor backed house members want to force Boehner to make a deal with the house dems to pass the debt limit so they can use it to force him out. Boehner is fighting for his speakership not America.

13. brought to you by the committee to elect eric cantor

for speaker.

isn't it lovely to watch a circular firing squad from the outside?

[joeybee12]

14. Even by Repuke standards they turned on him pretty quickly...

He'll be throwing back a lot of drinks tonight,

[Urban Prairie]

15. If these teabagger whackjobs ever get their way in DC

I would then expect that over a third of the nations population would become homeless, starving, killed, or imprisoned within one presidential term, and it wouldn't be pretty OR quiet.

[Shandris]

16. It amazes me that as vile as Boehner is...

...these people think he's not -anywhere near- vile ENOUGH!

It's about time someone informed the Flea Party that their 15 seconds of fame was over quite a while ago.
