Teabagger Grand Poobah Judson Phillips Threatens To Yank Boehner Over Spending
Tea Party Movement Growing Weary of GOP Budget Plan

By Stephen Clark

When Republicans captured the House in November, vowing to slash $100 billion in federal spending from the budget year ending in September, 76 percent of Tea Party activists supported their deficit-reduction plan, according to a new Pew Research poll released last week.

But after House Republicans approved a plan last month to cut federal spending by $61 billion, that Tea Party support fell to 52 percent.

Now Tea Party Nation founder Judson Phillips, arguably the most vocal critic of GOP leaders, is pushing for a primary opponent against House Speaker John Boehner in 2012 for breaking his campaign pledge to cut $100 billion and for what he sees as hints that he's willing to cut less than $61 billion in a compromise with Senate Democrats.

In an interview with FoxNews.com Thursday, Phillips said he stands by his comments and goal of seeking a primary challenger to Boehner.

2. Teabaggers are pure evil
They're complaining that the GOP hasn't slashed enough from social programs?

3. Rethugs find the irony of enabling an even more thuggish extreme
within the party.... Advancing the crazies, the ignorant, the racists, the immoral, the corrupt, the angry deranged. There is a price that they will pay... Ironically, we might look fondly to the days of a Boehner in that spot, if they are successful.

5. Yes there is a price they will pay but the question is
how much of a price will the country and the rest of will pay before they implode. And they will eventually self-implode as no organization that has this much hatred in it can last for long.
