CBS' "60 Minutes" talked to incoming House Speaker John Boehner about the tea party movement and pounced on him for "voting for almost every spending increase (George W.) Bush asked for."
Reporter Leslie Stahl, citing a letter written to Boehner by Punta Gorda tea party activist Robin Stublen, closely questioned the Ohio Republican on the GOP's commitment to fiscal restraint, and Boehner admitted: "We lost our way."
Stublen & Co. still aren't convinced that establishment Republicans on Capitol Hill have seen the light.
As he tells Sunshine State News: "The tea party movement is not all about Obama." So there.
