Oh boo-fucking-hoo:
Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) said Thursday that Republicans in Congress are resentful of Sens. Ted Cruz (R-TX) and Mike Lee's (R-UT) fundraising for an organization running ads against incumbents in the party.
Asked in an interview with with radio station KFYI's Mike Broomhead whether he considers Cruz and Lee part of the Republican "team," McCain said his colleagues are not happy about attacks coming from an outside organization with the tea party senators' support.
The Gadfly tried with all of his dirty old hippie might to feel some semblance of empathy for Senator S&L and his fellow party member's quandary. But alas, there were no feelings to be found, no concern, no sympathy. The Gadfly's Urn of Solace was lamentably arid. It is simply not within the realm of reasonable fortuity for The Gadfly to feel much of anything resembling commiseration for the party responsible for the rise of and empowerment of Ted Cruz and the Tea Party. And more specifically - The Gadfly does not feel one iota of pity for the person responsible for foisting one of the most noxious and dangerous individuals on to the American political stage -- Caribou Barbie of the Northwoods. For that transgression alone, John McCain's already scheduled stint in Purgatory deserves to be extended another millennium or two.
But The Gadfly digresses. What is particularly annoying about this story is that the GOP establishment is now trolling the media hard for compassion because Ted Cruz and those mean ol' Teabaggers are picking on them. Isn't that some hilarious shit dear readers?
We dirty hippies have been screaming from the rooftops for years that the Tea Party wasn't just some new, out of the blue grassroots uprising, but was in fact nothing more than the old far right, John Bircher/Jim Crow radicals who threw a collective shit fit when the dirty Negro was elected President and so they gussied themselves up a bit and re-branded their venomous strain of politics and social engineering as the modern day equivalent of the infamous Boston Tea Party -- which btw, is pretty humorous since the actual historical context of the original Tea Party revolved around the colonists dissent against the big corporate monopoly of the international tea trade.
The Gadfly can goddamn well guarantee you that you won't find any of these modern day Tea Partiers at any events protesting the practices of Wall Street, big banks or corporate monopolies. Nosiree - they are infinitely more concerned with investigating Obama's birth certificate, passing draconian laws aimed at suppressing minority, youth and women voters, sticking their noses in women's vaginas, providing cover to the gun goon lobbyists, trying to deny their fellow citizens access to affordable health care, and shutting down the government and playing Russian roulette with the nation's full faith and credit out of pure spite.
Perhaps a reminder from the good book on the subject of conceitedness and arrogance is in order:
Galatians 6:7-9
King James Version (KJV)
7 Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap
8 For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption
And if that doesn't get the point across to you, perhaps this will:
The silence of a falling star
Lights up a purple sky
And as I wonder where you are
I'm so lonesome I could cry
And that is about all that The Gadfly has to say about this sordid matter.
