There are no tea party members in the House of Representative or Senate

They were all elected as members of the ReTHUG party.

It's BS to suggest that ReTHUGs haven't created this mess - they are all ReTHUGs financed by wealthy wing nuts.

Just saying!!!

Boehner this Boehner that - he's fighting to keep his Speakership.
Fugg him - they are all ReTHUGs - they all want to sabotage Obama.
This is punishing American people for daring to vote for Obama

Why were repugs getting to give TWO responses? Everyone needs to quit pretending that the baggers are something other than republicans!

The Tea Party is a sub-committee of the GOP. They are subsidiaries of the GOP. Like name brands also own and produce store brands.
They are a recalcitrant 25-30%. They will never change. You just have to wait for them to die out. That is the real hope for the next generation. Our children and grandchildren, having been guided by us, will be able to manage their own future situation if we just leave them with enough critical thinking abilities and compassion. Just as generations before us figured out what to do, so will they. We don't need to worry about spending now and ruining their future. If we don't spend now to create good jobs and fix our schools and infrastructure they won't have a future to worry about. It's only the greedy who pretend to be worried about their millionaire heirs that don't want this President to succeed. Their money will out live them and my only hope is that their heirs will be better people than they are.

Never forget McConnell's words that his primary job was to make Obama a one term President. Now it is to destroy the Obama legacy. Check theballots and see - teabaggers are members of the ReTHUG party

Both US and others. Traditional republicans, John Birch Society and teabaggers are just different franchises.
Their only interest is to increase the profit for their parent companys.

To give this multinational conglomerate a name, 'The republican Menance' is about as good as any.
