Senate Republican Leadership Sells Out Tea Party Republicans During Obama Meeting
"Last week, under pressure from Democrats and opinion polls that had him
falling in favorability among the American public, a weakened Obama
openly declared himself willing to do a short term debt
ceiling agreement in order to continue further negotiations with
Republicans. This was a capitulation that was a direct result from the
Tea Party members of Congress effectively winning the battle.
Apparently, that victory, and the Tea Party’s re-emerging influence in
national politics, did not sit well with the Republican
leadership. A Congressional source indicated a verbal warning travelled
throughout the capitol that “enough was enough” and that those who had
been or continued to be, part of the ”defund and shutdown options would
be punished.”
John Cornyn is right up there with the rest of the leadrship- which is why I'll not be voting for him again.
ReplyDeleteFunny that he's already campaigning for my vote on the radio.........
