Advice to tea party members: Don't bet the house on No. 47

The number 47 has not been too kind to the tea-party Republicans lately. First there was Mitt Romney saying that 47 percent of the voters who will vote for President Obama are a bunch of moochers, and now we have 47 senators who are traitors by signing a letter that was sent to Iran. I guess they didn’t realize that Iran is an enemy of ours.

When do the impeachment proceedings start? Probably never because the Senate has the sole power to try all impeachments, and you know how that vote will go. Can you imagine what could be accomplished if this tea-party Congress would put forth the effort to create a Jobs Bill, a health care plan, find a way to help veterans and the poor and work with Bernie Sanders to preserve Social Security and Medicare.

Instead of helping the American people, they constantly defame the president and everyone in Congress who doesn’t see things their way.

More evil people I’ve never seen, and what if this same bunch would control the White So, in November 2016 the American people can put a halt to this mass takeover of the United States by this anti-middle class tea party bunch. Just look at who has your best interest at heart and vote accordingly.
