With Fear of Being Sidelined, Tea Party Sees the Republican Rise as New Threat

[LiberalElite]

WASHINGTON — As most Republicans were taking a victory lap the morning after the elections, a group of conservatives huddled anxiously in a conference room not far from Capitol Hill and agreed that now is the time for confrontation, not compromise and conciliation.

Despite Republicans’ ascension to Senate control and an expanded House majority, many conservatives from the party’s activist wing fear that congressional leaders are already being too timid with President Obama.

1. Yes, threatening to "burn" Obama if he does not capitulate is apparently being too timid? Fuck them.

Fuck them and their pining for open civil war and open disrepect of the uppity black man who stole two elections from the rightful white Christian owners of the country they want to take back.

There needs to be more open calling out of the Christo-fascists and their clearly known networks.

Science denial, economic denial, global warming denial, shutdowns, obstructions, imprisoning women for not carrying rape babies, voter suppression, the endless fucking lying......and Fox News, the fucking corporate media needs to give its fucking collective head a shake supporting these fucking lunatics and power mad idiots much longer.

Their civil war has been contained mainly by the ducking, fucking media ignoring it, but how to do that now?

2. I am stocking up on popcorn

This is going to be a fun fight to watch.

12. Hope you are right.

[elias49]

3. Some are fated to eat their own.

Bon appetit!

[Chemisse]

4. This could be more fun that I thought.

Two years of watching the Republicans fight the Republicans. There won't be any confusion who to vote out of office after all that!

[blkmusclmachine]

6. No doubt who the victor will be: the far right extremists.

This will create a huge sucking chasm on the Right, which I KNOW our DEM "leadership" will happily scramble to fill.

[SoapBox]

10. Oh ya...

I want to laugh...but it's really that my stomach churns over how spineless the Dems are.

[classof56]

5. K and a huge R!

Now, back to the Merlot. Gonna sleep well tonight!

[rpannier]

7. Gotta agree with the Tea Party

Don't put up with this crap guys
It's you that saved the Republikkan Party
Don't let them get over on you
Fight the establishment
Don't take it

[AwakeAtLast]

8. They didn't open with impeachment

That was supposed to happen yesterday.

[freshwest]

13. Yesterday? They wanted him impeached in January of 2009. He's from Kenya, ya know!

They'll do just as their leader commanded:

9. I feel zero sympathy for the republican leadership as they created this mess by catering to

those nutjobs so they deserve every bit of the headache that this is going to give them plus more.

[Odin2005]

11. Please proceed, GOP.

[freshwest]

14. Boo fucking hoo, the NY Times haz a sad! The Pauliban did just fine. Quit yer cryin'

You can still post some anti-Obama pieces, NYT.

Obama’s Fault

By BILL KELLER
Published: March 3, 2013

Our feckless leaders may be incapable of passing a budget, but, boy, can they pass the buck. The White House spent last week in full campaign hysteria, blitzing online followers with the message that heartless Republicans are prepared to transform America into “Les Misérables” in order to protect “millionaires and billionaires, oil companies, vacation homes, and private jet owners.” Republicans retort that the budget-cutting Doomsday device called sequester was actually invented by the White House...

Great way to miss the truth altogether to get in the obligatory props for the Republicans. Bullshit!

Do Reports of WMD Found in Iraq Vindicate George W. Bush?

By Adriana Scott - Oct. 16, 2014

WMD were found in Iraq but does it matter?

Was he right, after all?

The New York Times published an article this week that has re-ignited a 12-year-old debate: Was then-President George W. Bush right about Iraq? The report examined U.S. service personnel's encounters with abandoned chemical weapons in Iraq – and some conservatives were quick to pounce on the story as evidence that claims by Bush in the lead-up to the war that Iraq possessed weapons of mass destruction were true and that the United States' 2003 invasion was justified.

The article by Times reporter C.J. Chivers focused on U.S. soldiers who suffered from exposure to the sulfur mustard and other nerve gases which emitted from the bombs. According to the story, about "5,000 chemical warheads, shells or aviation bombs" were found scattered across Iraqi soil. The U.S. government buried the cases from both the public and the troops. As a result, injured soldiers did not receive proper medical treatment...

Bush apologists. Now they want us to buy more of their opinion?

No, I won't be nice about it and make no claims of being fair to them. They are no longer trustworthy, if they ever were, as propaganda for the elite. Every so often they do some good, most of the time they are Meh to Me.

15. I said to my wife that if the Democrats lose the Senate the civil war will begin within the GOP

before they move into their new offices.

The GOP thrive on conflict and hatred. If they defeat the Democrats, I said, they will indulge in an orgy of gloating and within 24 hrs they will go for each other's throats.

The Gingrich revolution fell apart and this one will too for the same reason. So called conservatives are misanthropic anarchists who despise peace, tranquility and order.

[DeSwiss]

16. They could always vote with the Dems.

- That'll teach those Republicans who's the boss!!

17. When your 'side' wins, you worry it will be too moderate. When it loses, you can claim

that your 'side' was too moderate. Something tells me the tea party folks were happier when their 'side' lost.

[tanyev]

18. Excellent.

[Justice]

19. Tea Party: we will not be ignored!

That is what they sound like - Glenn Close's character in Fatal Attraction...
