How do teabaggers not realize that Boehner is the ultimate, golf-playing, merlot-sipping DC insider?
Pundits keep saying that they will turn on him.

I don't think they're smart enough.

1. They make noise about holding the pukes accountable. But it is guaranteed that they will not
because they will not turn on any puke.

Plus, the Kochs will not allow it.

8. Also holding anyone accountable would be to much work
because they would not be able to to do with their racist badly spelled rantings, and that is as far as they will probably ever go unless they start using violence.

2. Because they're stupid. And they're hypocrites.

3. Agent Orange talks a good game, tells them what they want to hear.

Has a record of doing the opposite and connections to shady insiders that can be uncovered by anyone interested in looking past the media hype and researching him. Which his supporters are too taken with his empty rhetoric to do.

We all know how that works out...

4. He could still get t-bagged in his own district
They have shown to value ideology over electability in the past. That's why we now have Senator Coons.

5. They're only in it for that good ol' Klan feeling
It's an emotional thing. Reality checked at the door (under the Confederate flag).

9. Not a big fan of one-word answers, but in this case, it works.

11. During an interview, when asked about the 'Slurpee Summit,' he said he'd prefer a Merlot.
But, I agree, he seems more of a bourbon guzzler. Just the fact that he said 'Merlot' should give teabaggers second thoughts.




I'm NOT drinking any fucking Merlot!

12. The Tea Party masses are Republican tools...
...but Matt Taibbi says there are small groups that are really bothered.

That said, I suppose these small groups, the darlings of MSM prior to the election, will be completely marginalized now and labelled extremists. The only Tea Partyers that will be given a voice from this point forward are Dick Armey's army imbeciles.

We'll see...

13. Teabaggers embrace Republicans. They haven't held Republicans accountable
yet for anything they do.

The Teabaggers are really FOR the rich, the corporate insiders, and for slamming the poor. That is, if they are Republican!

16. I think any question that starts off with "How do teabaggers not realize . . . "
. . . is pretty much already answered right then and there.

If stupid were the word "and", these subhumans would be walking Bibles.

17. I thought they did--they're just silent about it
because he has an R next to his name.

19. It's going to take him agreeing with the Preisident on a major issue to turn them against him.
Right now they're angrier at Obama and that's where the majority of their attention is focused. If Obama wants to cripple the republicans and split their part he has to be seen as publicly hugging the repubs. The only problem is that he'll split us in the process.

20. I think some of them are getting it:
A comment from Teabagger Central:

"What you see is what you get. Anybody that thinks Boehner is going to rock the boat is going to be greatly disappointed. He is the GOP elite as is Mitch McConnell."

I wade over there every now and then. They're pissed about the Boner believing Obama was born in Hawaii. They're pissed that House Repubs backed away from their pledge to cut $100 billion from budget. The reading of the Constitution was referred to as a "dog and pony show", a waste of time and money.

And many have already tired of watching him cry all the time. More than a few have mentioned alcohol.

I'm sure the new Leaker of the House will prove to be a major disappointment for them.
