Noonan: House Tea Partiers Represent The Thinking Of Almost Half Of The Country

Peggy Noonan is once again pulling statistics from the land of her posterior.

Peggy Noonan is once again pulling statistics from the land of her posterior. Here she is on this Sunday's Face the Nation pretending that these teabaggers, or the House Freedom Caucus, or whatever these extremists are calling themselves these days represent "the thinking of almost half of the country."

Sorry Peggy but barely winning a majority of the votes in gerrymandered districts in a midterm election with record low turnout does not mean that half of the country agrees with your views.

DICKERSON: Peggy, I want to start with you.


PEGGY NOONAN, "THE WALL STREET JOURNAL": Ooh, that is a complicated question. That's why this question keeps continuing for the past few years.



And they do not really trust the elites of the parties or the elites of America's financial community to come through and address their concerns.

So I see this whole split and tension as something that will likely continue and be very difficult for Mr. Boehner.

Noonan also forgot to mention that it's the "elites" and billionaires like the Kochs that have bought and paid to put these wingnuts in power. The only reason they pretend they don't like "big government" is because they want to dismantle our social safety nets. They like the rest of it just fine as long as it means their campaign donors are continuing to have their pockets lined and their taxes kept low.
