tea party republicans. fellow republicans, the ones who helped scuttle the budget talks last september. again, i should add, and they got blamed for the shutdown. boehner has he finally had enough of these tea party folks? i want you to listen again. they pushed us into this fight to defund obama care and to shut down the government. most of you know, my members know, that wasn t exactly the strategy i had in mind. but if you ll recall, the day before the government reopened, one of the people one of these groups stood up and said, well, we never really thought it would work. are you kidding me? wolf blitzer is here with us in washington. no further introduction necessary for wolf. wolf, he was very animated. is this his declaration of independence from the tea party really staunch conservatives on the right? i think it s a very strong, bold statement on his part that he s not going to take it anymore.
