I kid you not, this Dim actually claims he has TEA backing to raise gas taxes.
I doubt he even knows what TEA stands for.

Rep. Jim Renacci (R-Ohio) tells The Hill that he has Tea Party support in his district for a proposal that could raise the federal gas tax.
Renacci said he garnered backing from Tea Party groups in his Cleveland-area district before introducing his proposal.

What's even funnier is he's bragging about it.  I thought TEA was irrelevant?

Yeah, only when they're not needed.

I say the guy is either a liar, or he created groups calling themselves TEA to deceive his constituency.
Either way, he needs to get a boot up his ass and forced to apologize for insulting our intellect.
WTF is it with Ohio voters?

He's pretty RINO.

One thing I just noticed, unless I'm wrong, the HASC average Republican rating has gone up.  I think it was in the low 60s last term, and now it's in the mid 70s.  Not ground breaking, but some supporting evidence that we're marching back the other way.

Sad isn't it, he doesn't even rate up their with the average rino.
And yes, we're making serious change in the GOP.

Did a side by side comparison, and Fuglosi got a higher rating than that of Boner?

Uhm, not from any TEA folks I know. They bitch about the price of gas as it is! I think I can speak for most and say, hell no we don't want it even higher!

Because we'd catch them in their lies.

Well then he should have no problem revealing which Tea Party organization it is so his claim can be verified...

The idiot was careless enough to claim Groups, plural, so it really shouldn't be all that hard to verify, assuming anyone in the media cared to.
You know, the way they vetted the Marxist.

That's some pretty tasty desperation.  After 8 years of a "recovery" that is weaker than light beer I don't see anyone having the stomach for higher taxes.

Boggles the mind, doesn't it? Only a RINO would be so disconnected (Bubble Dweller^TM) from his constituency, as to think he could fool the rest.
I think the only people stupid enough to fall for this, is liberals.

Could this be the plan for 2016? Makes sense since everything the left has done over the last 8 years has failed.

I thought the Tea Party was dead...
