I have to say, I'm no particular fan of John Boehner. I was
still surprised and impressed by his decision to resign. He was so happy at his
news conference---Zippity do dah? Seriously! Loved it. And here the deal. The
people in the Republican Party who the true assholes are a fringe minority of
Tea Party members. Why aren't they just there own freaking party?
There are 435 members of the House of Representatives. 218
members is the critical number to get a majority. If the 48 Tea Party
members were really interested in governing, they would continue to muck around
in the Republican party. They would form their own political party, and it
wouldn't hurt them one bit! If they did this the House party affiliation
numbers would look like this:
199 members of the Republicans
188 members of the Democrats
48 members of the Tea Party
188 members of the Democrats
48 members of the Tea Party
The House leader would likely be a reasonable Republican.
Everyone could vote their conscience. There would be a Tea Party leader and
leadership roster to spout their rhetoric to the press. And government would WORK!
