There’s No Bottom To The Tea Party Well

From Friday’s Wall Street Journal:

Boehner Facing Tea-Party Pressure

Home-state tea-party activists have access to House Speaker John Boehner that any lobbyist would envy. They meet twice a month with a top aide to the Ohio Republican, and their emails are answered quickly.

But that doesn’t seem to be enough to turn them into loyalists.

Ohio conservatives say they are preparing to call 1,000 of Mr. Boehner’s donors to complain that he isn’t doing enough to block a debt-limit increase. On a new Facebook page, “Tea Partiers Against Boehner,” they air complaints. The national group Tea Party Patriots, saying that Republicans are “timidly passing mediocre spending reforms,” has called for a rally at the Capitol.

The calls to make big spending cuts come as Mr. Boehner works under deadline pressure with Democratic lawmakers and the White House on a plan to fund the government for the rest of the fiscal year to avoid a potential government shutdown after April 8.

Memo to the GOP:

You’ll never please the Tea Party hardiers.

Figure out a way to live without them.

    I’ll see your memo and raise it…

    Memo to the Tea Party:

    Did you _really_ think anything would be different? Hit the books and review recent political history, starting with the Christian Evangelical religious right’s timely usefulness to the GOP since at least 2000.
    Or, if that entails too much time and effort, hit the dictionary and look up one four-letter word encompassing every last one of you, viz. ‘DUPE.’
