Get A Load Of Dick Armey's Threat !!!

Ms. Bachmann is by no means the only Tea Party voice moving to exert influence over the new Congress.

In a draft of a confidential memo to be distributed to all incoming House Republican lawmakers, Dick Armey, a former Republican majority leader who is chairman of the conservative group FreedomWorks, and Matt Kibbe, its president, told lawmakers that a repeal of the Democrats’ health care law was “nonnegotiable” and warned that they would face a severe backlash from voters if they did not succeed in reversing the law.

“Politically speaking, your only choice is to get on offense and start moving boldly ahead to repeal, replace and defund Obamacare in 2011, or risk rejection by the voters in 2012,” Mr. Armey and Mr. Kibbe wrote.

House Republicans said they recognized the inherent conflicts, and the pressure that they would be under from the new majority-makers. But they also said they believed they could meet the challenge, given that veteran Republicans shared many of the newcomers’ goals.

When asked how the leadership planned to educate new members, particularly those who had never served in government, Representative Greg Walden of Oregon said, “My guess is these incoming freshmen are going to be giving us the training session.”

4. “My guess is these incoming freshmen are going to be giving us the training session.”

This is going to be more fun than I thought.

11. Actually, it will be fun watching these bozos try to govern. It will be sad if

they succeed in any of their plans, but I don't think they know how to do anything other then say no. These are not the most intelligent types.

5. Look up "undistinguished" in the dictionary

And you'll see Walden's picture. I have no idea how he got bumped up to his position in the Republican caucus, maybe he just hasn't pissed anyone off. But isn't it reassuring that rather than having the old hands instruct the newbies, Walden is willing to hand the keys over to the freshmen?

6. Sounds like the repugs will be fighting amongst each other for the next 2 years

9. That's one of the things we're hoping/praying for!

WATCH them try to govern!

[Catshrink]

7. So Dick Armey is the new Grover Norquist?

[elleng]

8. Dems should list a few, simple, new benefits,

maybe put into a 'ditty,' for the simpleminded, make it catchy, AND KEEP SINGING IT!

10. They want to destroy Obama and his legacy

assholes

[Canuckistanian]

12. WHO would suffer a backlash?

The Teabaggers have made repeal of "Obamacare" their main issue.

If their precious leaders of the House can't do it, the leaders are in BIG trouble.

Obama can just sit there munching his popcorn - it's got nothing to do with HIM.

13. Kick !!!
