Speaker John Boehner: Complains About Tea Party on 60 Minutes

Beer Buddies

House Speaker, John Boehner, in a recent interview on 60 Minutes clearly represents those serving in Congress look at daily business in Washington, DC as a game of strategy andtactics; such things should be relegated to campaigning for election and re-election. Our nation was not founded with a government designed to play political games, but to protect and obey the US Constitution and its amendments; what every congressional member and President of the United States swears an oath to. During that time on 60 Minutes, Boehner spent a great deal of time complaining about the Tea Party. It is further proof and why so many (not enough) Republicans in Congress want him ousted as Speaker of the House – he's a certified RINO.

“The issue with the Tea Party isn’t one of strategy. It’s not one of different vision … It’s a disagreement over tactics, from time to time,” said Speaker of the House John Boehner, on 60 Minutes Sunday night. More than a year ago, Speaker Boehner took serious offense when conservative groups criticized a budget deal he favored. They had “lost all credibility… I don’t care what they do.” So irrelevant is the Tea Party movement that the Speaker took to 60 Minutes to complain about its criticism of him Sunday night. … For example, we oppose amnesty for illegal immigrants because we believe it would not be fair to the millions waiting in line to get into America legally, nor to the millions who already arrived legally after waiting in line. Amnesty rewards lawbreaking, and only serves to incentivize further lawbreaking. The Speaker, on the other hand, dances to the tune of the Chamber of Commerce, whose members and supporters want cheaper labor, and are, consequently, major proponents of the kind of comprehensive amnesty legislation that passed the Senate in 2013 and which the Speaker clearly wanted to put on the floor of the House last year before Dave Brat’s stunning upset of the former Majority Leader put the kibosh on those plans. … Similarly, we seek the repeal of Obamacare because we believe it tramples the fundamental liberties guaranteed us by our Constitution, destroys patient choice, degrades the quality of health care delivered, increases costs, and will ultimately break the bank.

And, in conclusion, Daily Caller:

Finally, I would note one other difference with the Speaker’s view, specifically regarding his assertion that the Tea Party’s opposition is manufactured for fundraising purposes: Every dollar we raise is contributed voluntarily, by donors whose only interest is seeking to influence their government to tax less, spend less, and stop running up a massive debt. They seek little from the government other than to be left alone, and we have nothing to offer them other than our promise that we will use the resources they contribute to do the best job we can to achieve our shared vision of greater personal freedom, economic freedom, and a debt-free future.

Obama refers to Islamic Jihadists as "extremists" and uses the same word to describe the Tea Party. 
What's wrong with that picture?
