From the VOMITORIUM

Actually that is a real question….it seems that everyone’s mouth of the ignorant Right has decided to try and form a caucus within the Congress for the Tea Party….but first….what is a caucus?

A faction within a legislative body that pursues its interests through the legislative process: the Women’s Caucus; the Black Caucus.  Thgis is about the best for what Bachmann has in mind….yes Michele Bachmann is forming a caucus within the Congress……

Not surprisingly, Bachmann declared herself chair of the caucus, for which she filed paperwork on Thursday. “This caucus will espouse the timeless principles of our founding, principles that all Members of Congress have sworn to uphold,” she declared. “The American people are doing their part and making their voices heard and this caucus will prove that there are some here in Washington willing to listen.”  From WaPo blog “Post Partisan” by EJ Dionne.

I love it!  And now I wait for her to say just what principles our Founders had in mind……and I wait…….

Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.) will preside over the inaugural meeting of the caucus, and she said she hopes the newly formed group will provide a voice in Congress for “real housewives, real farmers, real businessmen, real plumbers.”

A dozen House Republicans have announced they will join the new Tea Party Caucus, and the group will gather Wednesday for its inaugural meeting.

The caucus has attracted GOP leaders — Rep. Mike Pence of Indiana, the third-ranking House Republican, and Rep. Pete Sessions of Texas, who heads the National Republican Congressional Committee. But House Minority Leader John A. Boehner of Ohio said he would not join.

At last count….there were 25 members of Congress that have joined the caucus.  And they seem to be the ones that cooked up the biggest lies during the health debate and are into the birther conspiracy and………well let us just say…the ones that bring down the collective IQ of conservs……

Now I would like to know why the need for a Tea Party Caucus?  A political game is the best reason…….Bachmann says she wants to hear from the “real” people and their concerns….but is that NOT the idea of these dips having an office, website, telephone, email etc?

If the GOP stands for small government, fiscal responsibility and the rest of the conserv ideas….why does there need to be a Tea Party Caucus?  What purpose will it serve other than to give the fringe right and better chance to hijack the conserv agenda, whatever that might be……
