On Tweety: The Chamber And Big Business Now Suffer From Buyer's Remorse

[Me.]

According to Fineman the teabags were bought and paid for by the chamber and right wing business interests who thought they could control them. Now their interests are being hoist, as they say, by the very people they shelled out cash for. It was suggested that as they made them so they can break them. Fat chance. The Chamber tried that threat last month and had to back down.

1. Proof yet again that politics is tougher than business

All the rats have only one hole; there is no sharing for the losers. Makes 'em a little wild-eyed. Businesspeople will never get it.

18. live by the sword, die by the sword. I hope they do

[Fresh_Start]

2. They are not yet suffering enough.

I only wish the suffering could be limited to those who lay down with dogs

10. I also will not feel sorry for the tb followers

They made their bed and will have to lie in it.

3. I would buy tickets to The Chamber of Commerce vs The Teaparty. nt

4. They wanted them.

They got them. And what happened to "its a grass roots movement of the people." :sarcasm: They are admitting the TPs were of their creation.

7. Yep

A monster of their own creation and a dandy little Frankenstein it is (with apologies to Frank)

[Liberal_Stalwart71]

5. I've been screaming this point now for many weeks. It was the Chamber

and Wall Street that supported these Teabaggers. Crying and screaming about it now doesn't do them any good.

[Ruby the Liberal]

6. How did the Chamber try to break them last month?

I missed that.

12. Here's A Report Of The Scolding

GOP Civil War Erupts: Tea Party Freshman Rips Chamber CEO Tom Donahue

“The Chamber of Commerce, as ThinkProgress has extensively documented, went to great lengths to elect Republicans in 2010, funding attack ads against several Democrats. The Chamber has also launched a series of broadsides against the Obama administration agenda, working with Republicans to undermine everything from the Affordable Care Act to the Dodd-Frank financial reform law.

This week, though, Chamber of Commerce CEO Tom Donohue may have ignited a civil war within the GOP. Many Tea Party freshman within the House Republican caucus have said that they will not vote to raise the debt ceiling, which would force the U.S. to default on its debt obligations. In fact, many said that raising the debt ceiling would be a “betrayal” of the platform that they ran on.
But Donohue sent a message those freshman during a speech before the Rotary Club of Atlanta: Fail to raise the debt ceiling and “we’ll get rid of you.” Today, Rep. Joe Walsh (R-IL) appeared on Fox News, where he tore into Donohue for threatening House Republicans:

I found Tom Donahue’s comments outrageous, tone-deaf, totally establishment, and doesn’t understand at all where we’re at right now…If Tom Donahue is more comfortable having Nancy Pelosi as Speaker next year because he wants to get rid of all of us tea party, fiscally-conservative freshman who came here on a mission to save our kids from the debt we’re placing on their backs, then fine. He can have Nancy Pelosi as his Speaker.”

8. if we didn't have to suffer, I would hope and pray

for a tea party default just to see big business and the chamber choke on their own vomit.

Clasic case of reaping and sowing. They got behind these fucking freaknoids and now are getting what they prayed for.
