Do we have three parties... (D), (R), and (TPW)?

It looks like our current Congress is operating as a three party system. We have the Democrats, the Republicans and the Tea Party Wackos.

In the budget deal the Republicans and the Democrats worked together leaving the Tea Party out in the cold. The attempt Bohener made at an earlier compromised failed because both the Tea Party Wackos and the Democrats failed to work with the Republicans.

The Republicans did away with the Hastert Rule to ensure that this could happen. The Hastert Rule is a rule developed in the House of Representatives attempting to prevent the fracture of the Republican party, agreed to refuse to call a vote on anything unless it had a majority Republican support. That kept the TPW's in cooalition with the R's. As you can see when it comes to important issues relating to the future of our nation's economic health... the Republicans knew the Hastert Rule is bad for true Democracy.

Do we have the start of a cooalition forming in the house where the Republicans and the Democrats will work together to get some things accomplished. That would leave the TPW's as the opposition. I belive this may be the healthy start of a new era of political structure in our country.

Since when does anyone refrain from addressing the topic because of one derogatory word?

How long have you been on the board, anyway?

They are very delicate flowers...but only when they are on the receiving end. You might call them fragile bottoms. If you know what I mean...

Poor things! Very delicate sensibilities. If I wasn't willing to respond on threads that start "Hey, libtardidiots!", I'd be cutting myself off from most of the board at this point.

My thread is not fucked up, you are just chosing not to discuss the topic. I suspect its not because I called the Tea Party wackos.

You have never had such delicate sensativities before.

New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (R) lit into House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) and House Republicans Wednesday for not holding a vote on a Hurricane Sandy relief bill.

"There is only one group to blame for the continued suffering of these innocent victims: the House majority and their speaker, John Boehner," he said. "This is not a Republican or Democratic issue. Natural disasters happen in red states and blue states and states with Democratic governors and Republican governors. We respond to innocent victims of natural disasters, not as Republicans or Democrats, but as Americans. Or at least we did until last night. Last night, politics was placed before oaths to serve our citizens. For me, it was disappointing and disgusting to watch."

"Last night the House of Representatives failed that most basic test of public service, and they did so with callous indifference to the suffering of the people of my state," said Christie. "Sixty-six days and counting -- shame on you. Shame on Congress. Despite my anger and disappointment, my hope is that the good people in Congress -- and there are good people in Congress -- will prevail upon their colleagues to finally, finally put aside the politics and help our people now."

Christie said he was not given an explanation as to why the vote did not take place Tuesday. He added that House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-Va.) placed a call to him at 11:20 p.m. to inform him that the speaker had decided not to schedule one. Christie then called Boehner four times, and Boehner did not call him back.

"There is no reason for me to believe anything they tell me," he said, referring to the House GOP.

maybe christie should have gotten off his fat GOP ass and prevented the city govs from bulldozing peoples housing before they could get it fixed, then fining them for the cleanup. and you libs need to stop the hypocrisy for wanting those houses bulldozed in the name of 'safety', then begging for federal relief.

We need a third party, and I cant think of a better way to get one than to have the Republicans cut in half.
