Establishment GOPers assail tea party on shutdown[W:34]

Actually it's a larger number who are against Obamacare and for getting public spending under control.

It's the Dimocrats who want more spending and ever higher debts.

The Tea Party will grow in influence, as it should.

That's right. Republicans in the House and Senate are united in opposition to Obamacare. This current feud was over tactics. And yes, the Tea Party tactics in this case were foolish.

I've said it over and over again. The Republicans allowed the savages from the Tea Party to take over and they'll be paying for it next election. As ****ty as it sounds, say hello to a weak GOP house, a Democratic Senate and another Democratic president next year guys. Thank the Tea Party for it. The best part is that the Tea Party fans will come here and tell me 75% of Republican are traitors or RINOs - insurgents to the cause or better yet blame the media for all the negative coverage the GOP hijacking is taking.

It may be too late, and that's the scary part. Look at the '12 House races. The Dems were +2 and lost handily. That's only the 4th time that's happened in 100 years. Because of gerrymandering they need to be +10 to have a shot at taking back the House. In contrast, the GOP wave election of '94 was only a +7 win for the GOP.

In short.. Restricting means that the small percentage of the US that considers itself to be Tea Party controls a slim majority of a controlling majority of a slim majority of one half of one third of the US Government. In other words, they're now baked into the system. Somehow we have to find a way to govern when the majority of the House is elected by people who don't want the government to function.

I don't know - but let's not inquire in case a Conservative (which is the name of one of Canada's parties) decides to school us on Mexican geography. Who do these Canadians think they are sticking their noses into US business?

It seems Mexican geography now extends as far north as the Canadian border.

Americans often look to Canada on how to run a government health insurance scheme so it seems only fair to let the neophytes know when you're screwing it all up.

Not just the Republicans or Tea Party members are against Obamacare but the majority of the American people as well. They know it is dysfunctional and unaffordable.

I think this sums up why the GOP will soon break apart. Words mean nothing to the tea party. Perfect.

The irony is Rove really created the tea party by inviting the knownothing and Christian Right elements into the GOP to win a few elections. People like Palin and Bachmann actually took his disingenuous agitprop seriously and suddenly, he found out that the GOP's fate depending on people who thought the world was 6000 years old and that science is a conspiracy of the UN.

Poetic justice.

The GOP very well may break apart but the Democrats and Obama aren't doing any better. Nobody is running to the OFA rallies to sign up for Obamacare. Both parties are a sham. You're just a cheerleader for your fascist fuhrer Obama. You represent one side of the same coin.

I wish both parties would crumble so we can get to the real war. Individualism vs Collectivism (Fascism/Marxism/Socialism)

If the GOP can't be reformed from within then it's time for a 3rd party

Small wonder. Democrats control the house of representatives for 60 years
Until all the people that can remember how screwed up the republicans are died of
I wonder what conservatives would say if the democrats in the senate decided to shut down the government until
Taxes were raised on the rich or the increased gun control
