RSSLet Them Drink Tea!

July 28 was an amazing day in America.
Early in the day, John Boehner, Erick Canter, and other Republican leaders confidently declared that the U.S. House would pass the Boehner plan and send it to the U.S. Senate where Harry Reid promised to run the document through a shredder immediately upon receipt.
Boehner had apparently turned the corner by telling his wild tea party members to “get you’re a**** in line!” Tough language usually works when delivered in stern tones and with clenched teeth.
By 11PM, Boehner and crew had cancelled any action on his namesake bill due to a lack of votes. The Speaker headed home as did Harry Reid after turning his shredder off for the day.
July 28 will be indelibly stamped on Boehner’s brain as the day that the Tea Party came of age in the U.S. If there was any lingering doubt as to the commitment, energy, and integrity of the Tea Party gang, all such doubt was erased as they brought down the Speaker and forced him to eat crow with the entire nation waiting to watch the House vote.
Democrats are snickering with glee at the rude treatment visited upon the befuddled Speaker.
A word of caution to Democrats: Do not underestimate the power of the Tea party. These patriots mean business and operate under the slogan, “Let them drink tea!”
