I felt this needed it's own thread since the noise on GDT Raw Story report would have been impossible to break through.

Raw Story

Below are two articles that contradict his posting. Both are dated 11/5/10, and the first is written by Boehner himself. It's hard to believe he would go on Fox, Thursday, 11/4, state what GDT reports, and then author the WSJ article the next day. Let me say all these "leaders" need close watching, but I suggest we get things right before we jump the gun.

I have no idea what report(s) are correct at this moment, and if Raw Story is indeed more accurate that the WSJ, the Republican Party will blow a large hole in it's foot, thus allowing Tea Party folk to fully separate from the vehicle they used to carry them into congress.

I suggest we read the articles, and put the rope back in the closet until we know more.

I have maintained a no-earmarks policy throughout my time of service in Congress. I believe the House must adopt a moratorium on all earmarks as a signal of our commitment to ending business as usual in the spending process. *******

They should "suspect" they're going to be watched closely! Who knows if they do.. But a tally sheet after a year will start showing whether a Third Party is going to have to be started using the TEA Party as the core.

Agree. They're on a very tight probation. It won't take much for the Tea Party folk to gather, split, and leave them in the dust. Since they don't take office until January, I think it's a bit premature to begin to declare a victory a failure, but as you say, we will be watching.

Jerthro, some of those here are doing everything they can to attack the Tea Party. Facts be damned for them.

And this last election the third party/write-in ballots were rinos.

For decades the rinos used the excuse that rank and file republicans should not use third parties, and instead work within the party. Then, last primary, when the Tea Party did just that and won, it showed the hypocrisy of the rinos.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who sees the obvious, Paul. These folks won't arrive in Washington until January, yet the demonetization has begun. No more. Lets see what develops, and when and if they eff up, we'll be their harshest critics.

This forum has become a sounding board for democrat shills, losers and malcontents.

We need to clean house. There are at least 4 posters here that belong at DU or the nest, we all know who they are. Who will have the courage to show them the door? It's not a "free speech" issue, it's defending yourself from propaganda attacks from the left and those who benefit from it.

The Tea Party has a chance to reclaim this country over the next few cycles, we don't need some RAT stooges muddying the waters before a single one of our people are sworn in.

Show them no mercy, just show them the door.

You were properly placed in the drunk tank, after a fair warning, so at least give the kind folks a fair report.
