Tea Party being "crushed"

Steve

Well-known member
gee.. crushed.. or doing what their constituents demand

In a surprise move, Mr. Boehner turned to the hard-liners he had sidelined.

“Those of us who believed in border security were, by and large, cast aside,” said Mr. Brooks, the Alabama representative. “Funny how things can change real quickly when the only way you can pass legislation is to amend it our way. I hope House leadership will consider our various opinions to a greater degree than they have in the past.”

The changes opponents sought were subtle: clearer language showing that the bill was raising the bar on granting asylum hearings to unaccompanied children at the border, and a more explicit bill phasing out Mr. Obama’s executive order granting legal status to some immigrants brought to the country illegally as children, an order known as Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, or DACA.

well now the bill can sit on ol harry's desk until he is dethroned..


speaking of which.. we know a democratic controlled senate is dysfunctional.. and with Reid stopping bills for Obama the country is stalled.. so what should an independent who wants progress do

vote for the status quo... or vote to change the makeup of the senate to force Obama to compromise his far left liberal ideals?

GOP establishment favorite wins Alaska Senate primary
By Cameron Joseph

Former Alaska Department of Natural Resources Commissioner Dan Sullivan has won his GOP Senate primary, setting up a key battle with vulnerable Sen. Mark Begich (D-Alaska).

The Associated Press has called the race for Sullivan, who led 2010 Senate nominee Joe Miller (R) by 40 percent to 32 percent with 80 percent of precincts reporting. Alaska Lt. Gov. Mead Treadwell (R) was in third place with 25 percent.

Sullivan’s win sets up a marquee matchup against Begich. Many Republicans privately admit Begich has run a good race so far in a state that’s tough sledding for any Democrat, but observers predict a close race.
Miller, however, has yet to concede. The longer he protests the vote, the more it could hurt Sullivan, who needs Miller's base to rally to him in order to defeat Begich this fall. The Tea Party favorite was refusing to concede as of 5 a.m. Eastern time.
-----------------------------------------
Miller ran a disciplined campaign on a shoestring budget, and his fervent base helped propel him to a better showing than many predicted until the closing days of the primary. He also got last-minute endorsements from former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin (R) and former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee (R). Miller has ruled out running as a third-party or write-in candidate.

Another Tea Partyier bites the dust... Folks are showing their frustration at a group that once they get elected has shown that they go to Congress and do nothing to earn their wages... You can't go on saying NO forever... You can't go on proposing we go back to 1850's thinking forever...
The public/voters want some folks that will at least put forward some new ideas- and work with their fellow legislators to keep the country moving forward...

When he came up with his "word of wisdom"(using that term lightly) we could have never dreamed of this leftwingernut obama regime. In the case now we would be much better off if obama did absolutely NOTHING

YES

so, you consider Harry Reid a Tea Partier?

You have yet to provide any evidence that the establishment Republicans are not the faction of the party of "NO", and it is not the Tea Party candidates that are willing to compromise and get government once again functioning properly

Well that covers #5 yes to doubling the national debt in four years...

can you work through the rest? or do you want to table them like Harry Reid does..

Its refreshing to see that more folks are coming to their common senses and realizing the values and ideas of the 1850's being sold by the Tea Party crew is not what they want... The majority want the country to move forward- not backward...
They want representatives that put their oath to their country ahead of their oath to a character named Grover (or a Grand Poobah of the Triple K) ...

Of the Tea Party caucus in the House, we lost a total of 6 members.

Michelle Bachmann (MN-6) – Retired.

Kerry Bentivolio (MI-11) - Lost primary to establishment hack David Trott who won the seat in the general.

Steve Southerland (FL-2) - Lost general election to Democrat Gwen Graham.

Steve Stockman (TX-36) - Abandoned seat to try and unseat Republican senator John Cornyn. Lost that primary.

Paul Broun (GA-10) - Abandoned seat to run for senator. Lost that primary.

Phil Gingrey (GA-11) - Abandoned seat to run for senator. Lost that primary.

So, a total of 6 Tea Party losses in the House.

BUT what about the gains?

John Ratcliffe (TX-4) - Shot down incumbent Ralph Hall in the Republican primary. Ran unopposed.

Dave Brat (VA-7) - Astonishingly demolished incumbent house majority leader Eric Cantor in arguably the cycle's biggest upset. Won the general.

Tom Emmer (MN-6) - Succeeding Bachmann, Emmer has a solid fiery conservative record. He won easily.

Jody Hice (GA-10) - Succeeding Broun, this guy is infuriating Democrats who are calling him 'the most evil republican of 2014!'... so you know he's solid gold! Easily won in the deep red district and has said he won’t vote for Boehner.

Barry Loudermilk (GA-11) - Succeeding Gingrey, Loudermilk is actually more conservative than his predecessor, endorsed by SCF, ran unopposed and won't vote for Boehner.

Mia Love (UT-4) - Early Tea Party favorite, after much struggle, she is IN!

Alex Mooney (WV-2) - Solid conservative wins the seat previously held by moderate now-Republican-senator Shelly Moore Capito in a walk.

David Rouzer (NC-7) - Been waiting to come to congress for a while, this was his year. Replaced retiring blue dog Democrat Mike McIntyre.

Ken Buck (CO-4) - Likely to be a little more conservative than now-Republican-senator Cory Gardner, former 2010 senate candidate is now a congressman.

Barbara Comstock (VA-10) - A Mark Levin pick for congress, she won easily the seat of retired RINO Frank Wolf.

Bruce Poliquinn (ME-2) - A very conservative candidate who won the primary in an upset. Establishment thought he'd lose. He didn't.

Cresent Hardy (NV-4) - Conservative state assemblyman. He beat Democrat Steven Horseford in an upset. Democrats already griping that he's a radical.

Mike Bost (IL-12) - Dubbed Meltdown Mike for his explosive defenses of the 2nd Amendment on the floor of the state house, he is going to be giving as much hell to the democrats and RINOs as Steve Stockman did.

Rick Allen (GA-12) – Finally laid to rest hard-to-hit Democrat John Barrow, the last white Democrat in the deep south. Tea endorsed.

Gary Palmer (AL-6) - Seizing the seat held by retiring RINO Spencer Bachus is a solid Alabama conservative.

French Hill (AR-2) – Retiring representative Tim Griffin had a pathetic conservative rating of 52%. Hill was Tea Party endorsed and won a narrow race against the rat.

Lt. Col. Steve Russell (OK-5) – Replacing Boehner acolyte James Lankford who won the senate race for the seat of retiring Tom Coburn, Russell will be much more likely to buck the establishment.

John Moolenaar (MI-4) – Replacing retiring Dave Camp, who scored a pathetic 50% with Heritage, Moolenaar has a solid record behind him and was Tea endorsed.

Glenn Grothman (WI-6) – Retiring Tom Petri was a little too cozy with the establishment. Grothman is a hair on fire conservative who the dems absolutely despise and he just won by over ten points.

Johnny Tacherra (CA-16)??? - Seems on course to unseat Democrat incumbent Jim Costa in an upset nobody saw coming. He comes out of the Tim Donnelly school of California right wing thought. This one is NOT yet secure, and Costa will likely try to steal it with provisionals.

-----------------------------------------------

Well, that means the Tea Party 'radical' wing of the Republican Party lost 6 and gained 20 (from both Democrat and Republican seats), for a net total of 14 pickups for the Tea Party in the house.
