Oh goody! Let’s push for another war! And one that can deepen the turmoil and endanger even more people! One that the United States would be dragged right into! Weeee!
Now that Michele Bachmann is the self-proclaimed Queen of the Tea Potty Caucus, she and her over sized mouth can scream “War!” with even more shrillitude. And now she has an entire Congressional chorus to accompany her.
The Tea Baggers just keep topping themselves:
Expanding their foray into foreign policy, 21 members of the new caucus have now come out explicitly endorsing Israel’s right to strike Iran’s nuclear program.
Almost two dozen Tea Party-affiliated lawmakers cosponsored a new resolution late last week that expresses their support for Israel “to use all means necessary to confront and eliminate nuclear threats posed by the Islamic Republic of Iran, including the use of military force.”
The lead sponsor of the resolution was Texas Republican Louie Gohmert, one of four congressmen to announce the formation of the 44-member Tea Party caucus at a press conference on July 21. The other three Tea Party Caucus leaders, Michele Bachmann, R-MN, Steve King, R-IA, and John Culberson, R-TX, are also sponsors of the resolution.
The resolution says they would support an Israeli military strike “if no other peaceful solution can be found within reasonable time.”
And what exactly is “reasonable” to them? They’re certainly not reasonable, so why should any estimate coming from them be reasonable?
The Tea Baggers are one hostile, put up your dukes bunch, no matter how you frame it. They reload, spit, scream, drown out, threaten… and now they’re endorsing the stupidest, most reckless attack imaginable.
Tea Party Cau-Cuss.
