Another Tea party mistake?

Rep. Eric Cantor of the Tea Party once again has stepped in it. Today, he said that he hoped that President Obama would not start his vacation until the tax cut was approved. Say what? President Obama has already said that he will be in town until the bill is passed, so what's the problem? You say the President shows no leadership, but yet, it was reported that when Speaker Boehner told the far right wing of the Tea Party about the 60 day extension, and pictures of the Senate Tea Party members high-fiving themselves after their vote, they told the Speaker that they would not vote for a 60 day extension. This made him come out and say he couldn't vote for the bill, and even change the language to pass/turn down the Senate bill. One member of the Tea Party even went on TV (I"m sorry I can't remember her name) and said she was glad that the Speaker gave in to their demands. So Speaker, this is leadership? You cave into less than 1/3 of your Tea Party, and you complain about the President's lack of leadership? Another Tea Party mistake? No, just a repeat of the same one you continually make: Thinking that just because you say it, it must be true. And every time you repeat the mistake, fewer people listen to your lies. That's why the Tea Party has gone from a 27% approval rating in the summer to 19% now. Keep talking, and soon you'll be in single digits, just like Congress.
