The U.S. Chamber of Commerce, the bedrock of traditional Republicanism, now says that it will get involved in Republican primaries by providing financial support to incumbent Republicans who vote to reopen the government and raise the debt ceiling. In other words, if some Republicans act responsibly and then have to face tea party challengers accusing them of being RINOs, the Chamber will have the back of those reasonable Republicans. It's a civil war within the GOP, folks.

That's how far off the deep end the tea party and right-wing House Republicans have gone. They've lost the Chamber of Commerce. Heads must be exploding in the Bush family compound. A bit more than a dozen House Republicans have already come out in favor of voting for a "clean continuing resolution (CR)" to reopen the government at current funding levels (remember, that means the sequester stays in place, already a Republican victory).

The baggers gerrymandered congressional districts into dead red zones. So all of the money may really not make a difference, unless a debt default is triggered and Social Security/Medicare payments to the constituents are redirected to paying off interest payments to bond holders. Then that would be a game changer...

Using labels such as "baggers" in derogatory fashion is weak.

The Tea Party stands for less spending, less federal intrusion, lower taxes, more freedom, and more capitalism.

Those things made America distinct from stale old Europe, and they made America a great country.

Well there you go. Who would have guessed a 70% one week vacation for non essential federal civil servants would result in the US Chamber of Commerce supporting the Democrats.


:lol:

Same old empty self centered autocratic shit from our malicious teabaggers.

It would be interesting to see them even come close to any realistic analysis of any cause and effect event. But alas, all they have are their delusional fantasies.

[johnforbes]

It is vanity to suppose what is "realistic" is what is leftist.

[BilboBagend]

The faux, so pathetic. Thinking that intentional delusional lies should in any way be considered realistic. The faux, filled with delusions of false equivalence of all statements regardless of objective facts or rational reasoning.

No surprise there.

If Bilbo had any formal education, he would know it is vanity to suppose his own opinions are tantamount to cosmic truth.

Bilbo really is that delusional.

As to the US Chamber of Commerce, it has long favored illegal immigration as a source of cheap labor, so the Chamber is hardly a bedrock of conservative belief.

And, of course, there's a spectrum of views in the Democrat party too.
