Well that didn't take long. John Boehner and the House GOP leaders blinked before the President and the Dems even started staring them down.
Folks, John Boehner and the GOP leadership is an unmitigated disaster. Ever since election night, these idiots have misread the results. They are blaming the loss on everything except the fact that over three million voters stayed home. Three million conservative voters. These voters stayed home due to the fact that Romney, rightly so, was not conservative. Every election cycle we hear of how we need to put up a candidate who can reach the "middle". To these wizards, this means a "moderate" candidate. Nearly every time the GOP does this, they get their butts handed to them. Ford, Bush I, Dole, McCain, and now Romney. The problem isn't that the message is too conservative, it's that it's not conservative enough!
Now we have Boehner and the rest of these statist Republicans telling Americans that they are going to expand government, but at a slower rate than the Democrats.
John Boehner, Eric Cantor,and the rest of the current GOP leadership need to be removed from their positions of power and marginalized.
Whether it's Jim DeMint, or some other conservative in Congress, a coalition has to be put together by them to purge this cancer that has infected the modern day GOP.
Boehner tax increase sparks conservative backlash
By Seth McLaughlin - The Washington TimesDecember 4, 2012, 10:57PM
Sen. Jim DeMint, a tea party favorite, ripped House Republican leaders for offering a budget framework that embraced new taxes, saying the GOP plan to raise $800 billion in new revenue would hurt the economy, kill jobs and not reduce the national debt by a penny.
"This isn't rocket science," Mr. DeMint, South Carolina Republican, said. "Everyone knows that when you take money out of the economy, it destroys jobs, and everyone knows that when you give politicians more money, they spend it. This is why Republicans must oppose tax increases and insist on real spending reductions that shrink the size of government and allow Americans to keep more of their hard-earned money."

Tea Party Express to Washington - Don't Stand In Front of This Train!
Has Washington Learned Its Lesson?
by Brian Johnson November 4, 2010
Brian's Right Perspective
"... if the Republicans go back to old form, they’ll suffer the election consequences Democrats are suffering right now.”
If the Republicans go back to the same old massive spending of 2001 - 2006, 2012 is going to be super tsunami year. We are not looking for Democrat-lite.
There are going to be tough decisions, especially in social programs (welfare, food stamps, etc...).
The GOP is going to have to be articulate in debunking the false notion that tax cuts increase the deficit. They need to illustrate that in the first year (or short-term), there will be budget shortfalls in tax revenue, but in the out years revenue to the federal government will increase due to the jump-start in new businesses, greater employment, reinvestment and expansion of existing businesses and so on. The key though is to both cut taxes AND cut spending simultaneously.
In addition, there needs to be a weakening of the unions (SEIU, AFL-CIO, NEA, etc...) which are holding states and businesses hostage with unsustainable collective bargaining agreements, draining the treasuries of those states, and bankrupting business and taxpayers.
Who is going to be the person to lead the charge? It's too early to say, but one thing is for sure - don't be one of those who stands in the way of the train that's heading for Washington D.C. You will get run over.

The war is not over. Tuesday night was just the first battle. Do not for a minute think that the established GOP leadership is going to roll over without a fight. However, these same people should be forewarned that this is not a single election movement. This is a sustained movement that is going to hold both the old guard (McCain, Boehner, Graham, etc...), and the new guards feet to the fire. The People are awake, and we are watching.
