The rift between basic Tea Party values and Republicans has begun...careful who you sleep with--you might just get tea bagged. 😀

It's official: GOP leaders in the House and Senate have both confirmed that they will buck calls from the Tea Party and not back a ban on federal earmarks.
House Republican leader John Boehner addressed the issue Thursday night during an interview with Fox News, stating that he approved of a temporary moratorium on congressional earmarks but would not pursue a complete ban.

If they have not heard the message yet, we will dump them in two years. I do not care what label is on the candidate, what I care about is that they do what is right for the country.

I definitely don't want to get earmarked by a teabagger.

Can't you find a newer slur? This one has been so overworked it bores me.

The day testicles stop being funny, I cut mine off. Put it this way, every morning I wake up laughing and will do so until the day I die! Say yes to scrotum based humor!
