Tea Party in Full Meltdown over "Boehner's Cave"

Oh my goodness, oh my goodness. There is a crisis in the Tea Party! I took a late night scroll around Foxnation, Redstate and Hotair and people, these conservatives are going nuts over what is now affectionately called "Boehner's Cave."

These people were seriously expecting 100 billion in cuts, the defunding of Planned Parenthood, Obamacare and the EPA or a complete shutdown. Now in full disclosure, I contributed just a little to their meltdown with several "well timely" posts like these:

1. "breaking news: the gop caved on planned parenthood, caved on destroying the EPA, and fully funded obamacare. okay? what's next?"

2. "i cannot believe the tea party is rolling over and fully funding obamacare and planned parenthood. dang, we should have thrown in the dream act and cap-n-trade if we knew they would wimp out so easily. oh well...governing is hard."

Okay, okay, I'm sorry--people, it was fun.

Needless to say, the screaming was loud, sustained and furious. Check out the whaling and gnashing of teeth over on Hotair:

1. They should break away from the Republicans and start a new party

or give up the hilarious facade that there are two parties in the little right-wingnut tent :rofl:

[Drale]

4. We don't want them to become another party

because then they couldn't destroy the republicans party from the inside out.

[zbdent]

5. but it would take away the far righties from the Republican party

and those far right nutbags might actually push the Repugs back into reality ...

Of course, they probably wouldn't win another Presidential election until the next Democratic Presidential jaywalking impeachment ...

[L. Coyote]

6. They use and abuse the meme that teabaggers are not the Republican mainstream

to keep their centrist voters from bolting. It is all just illusion and a clever political scam to present the fuhr right as other than the real Republicans.

[zbdent]

11. with the "liberally-biased media" keeping the boner quote of "There is no daylight

between me and the tea party" under tighter wraps than the New York Times kept the Bush43 illegal wiretapping story ...

I believe that the Republicans will never have to pay for their lunacy ...

[Drale]

25. That is their fatal weakness

The republicans will continue doing more and more illegal stuff, until they do something so horrible and unforgivable that no one will be able to ignore or deny it and it will probably have something to do with attacking American citizens or using nuclear weapons or maybe both.

[zbdent]

28. doubt it ...

(especially when you consider that they're probably grooming "batshit crazy" as the newest requirement for running for President, which allows Caribou Barbie to be a "legitimate candidate")

I've said for quite some time (during the Bush43 error), if the Republican was videotaped in a press conference actually raping and murdering a small boy in the Rose Garden at high noon, the "liberally-biased media" would suddenly start making it look like that was the new requirement for office.

Remember the time after the one Bush43/John Kerry debate where Kerry pointed out that Bush had actually said about Osama bin Laden "I really am not that concerned about him" (post-9/11), and Bush pretty much called Kerry a liar, saying "I don't believe I ever said that!", where the "liberally-biased media" kept playing that video clip of Bush43 saying "I really am not concerned about him"? No? Not surprising, since the White House suddenly pulled just that day's links ... for months. Not one "liberal media" outlet replayed any of that news conference, despite the fact that it was one of the handful where Bush actually had to answer questions.

(on a semi-related note, have you noticed that the old concept of "better dead than red" has disappeared, and now "red" is the new "good" color? Toilet tissue: Red is "STRONG", blue is "soft"; Verizon: Great phone coverage shown as a map of red covering most of the U.S., lousy coverage in blue; LG 3D tv - the "narrow", "less desirable" viewing is sitting on the blue chair/extended sofa, the great "viewing area" is seated on the red sofa; wouldn't surprise me if Star Wars showed up on a Fox TV channel, with Darth Vader's lightsaber in blue and Luke Skywalker's in red ...)

16. Yes, we do. Just as Ross Perot's party drew votes away from the Rs,

so too woould a Teabagger Party draw votes from the Rs.

[City Lights]

23. Speak for yourself.

If they formed their own party and had to run their Baggers in three-way races, I suspect we'd still have Ms. Pelosi as Speaker of the House.

[gateley]

2. I actually saw a couple of Tea Party "leaders" during the day yesterday on the

news, and two of them said they don't care about PP, EPA, whatever, it's the cuts they want. If those add to the cuts, great, but these two, anyway, seemed to understand Boehner was playing to his base and focusing on the nickel and diming when they wanted him to go after the big cuts (whatever those might be).

[TahitiNut]

3. Is Captain Ahab threre??

:eyes:

[warrior1]

7. awesome

[randr]

8. The few remaining moderate republicans need to make amends

and join the Democrats in order to save our Nation.

[KansDem]

9. "Boehner's Cave" -- LOL!!! I imagined him in some hole with Osama!

What'll we do now, Osama?
Shut up, John! I'm still trying to figure out a way to hang on to my cave...

[louis-t]

10. Good, no matter how much we lost

I kind of hoped this would happen. Delusional to the end, these teabag crazies. By the way, they're "whaling" over there? I hope they're, at least, dolphin friendly. And here's a :evilgrin: right back at you.

[Dokkie]

14. show some compassion

these guys were promised 100b when they wanted way more (see Rand Paul $500b cut/yr plan) and all the brown man could deliver is 38b cut. This country expects so little of their politicians. The democrats are told to shut up and take the crappy HCR bill and now the repubs are told to take the $38b cut when they pushed so hard for their politicians in Nov.

We all deserve more obedience from our politicians. Sorry but they are not being delusional. Politicians should learn to deliver on their promises after all, they do work for us.

[hlthe2b]

12. They are so oblivious to their self-destructive obsessions....

Perhaps someone should take their guns away (for their own protection)...:hide:

[Snoutport]

13. Pure petty enjoyment on my part!

[Thunderstruck]

15. There's George Soros again. WHO the FUCK is George Soros?

Why do these idiots keep bringing that guy's name up?

And why is it always Soros and not Koch with them?

[Urban Prairie]

17. "Caved on destroying the EPA" Fucking asshole!!

Wish we could round up all of these rightwing idiots, put them all in boats or planes, and exchange the entire lot of them with all of the progressives/liberals amongst the Japanese people, should much, if not most of their country eventually become too dangerously and/or highly irradiated for them to remain there. (disclaimer, I do NOT want that horrific and nightmarish scenario to ever take place in Japan and fervently hope each and every day for good news of a possibly positive outcome soon from their continuing nuclear crisis)

Then these greedy and sociopathic morans AND their beloved wealthy conservative corporate capitalists that would join them would be "free" to continue to pollute and poison themselves with impunity. Who knows what may become of their progeny's progeny's progeny's progeny in the future?

They might act and look much like the "Morlocks" in the movie "The Time Machine", while the wealthy living above ground would become their "Eloi".

[AsahinaKimi]

26. In my Opinion

I am not so sure Japanese would leave Japan, despite all the problems there. Certainly if some people did leave, coming to America would be a major problem. This country gives people from Mexico a bad time, how do you think they would treat an influx of new Asians? My father immigrated to the United states in the 1950's and even then it wasn't a comfortable experience coming to a new country, and having people accept you.

Immigration today must be horrible, especially in the light of current events. Look how ugly people are to those who have lived here for generations. Rush Limbaugh didn't seem to mind making fun of the Chinese ambassador, so how do you think Chinese felt, who have been here for generations, to only hear that they are still not wanted?

[shimmergal]

30. Actually, Teabaggers who don't want any government

should have to live somewhere like Somalia whichl doesn't have a working government, and see how they like it!

[emulatorloo]

18. Thanks for the link!!!! rec n/t

[dennis4868]

19. The tea party

And many liberals/DUers have alot in common these days...

[Urban Prairie]

20. "Republicans build their deals on the promise of living babies."

Yeah, that is, until they sever the baby's umbilical cord.

Then, if the mother lacks the funds, credit, or the medical insurance to pay for the delivery, post-natal care, and/or complications arising from, or due to the birth, either or both can just drop dead right upon the delivery-room floor, for all that these fucking social/fiscal conservative rightwing hypocrites really care.

[Ghost Dog]

27. I just watched "Sicko" for the first time

and that appears to be so true :( .

[former9thward]

21. No "meltdown" going on.

Tea Party is supporting the deal. http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052748704415104576251390267843346.html?mod=WSJ_hp_LEFTTopStories A few disgruntled posters do not a meltdown make.

[Umbral]

22. "..thrown in the dream act and cap-n-trade..." How?

I guess I shouldn't expect it to make sense.

[Liberal_in_LA]

24. I'm not surprised

[walldude]

29. LMAO.. this reminds me of the whole "cookie" joke..

That bastard Boner gave them the goddamn crumbs! HE actually left them some crumbs. Fire that asshole. Get us someone who will get us 100% of what we demand, this 98% shit is for the birds.

[Ramulux]

31. These people are insane

They extort $78.5 billion in cuts from the democrats under the threat of a government shutdown and somehow that's a loss. We are not dealing with people who are living in the real world.
