ISLIP, N.Y. — Representative Peter King (R-NY), thought by some to be considering a 2016 Presidential Bid, today announced the formation of a leadership political action committee to help support Republicans running for national office who are not connected with the Tea Party in any way.
“These tea baggers are $#@!* nuts!” ranted King at the announcement. “I kept waiting and waiting for Republican leadership to show some balls and toss them out with the trash. Finally, I just said screw it, I’ve got balls enough for all of them.”
The PAC – officially called American Leadership Now but unofficially called Who Else Hates the Tea Party? – will raise money for Republican candidates who are moderate on social and domestic issues, and who have joined the Facebook Group “I Bet I Can Find 1,000,000 People Who Hate the Tea Party.”
King is an outspoken critic of Tea Party darlings Sen. Paul (R-KY) and Sen. Cruz (R-TX), and has been known to spit at them when passing through the halls of Congress.
“[This PAC] is a vehicle that will enable me to go around the country to try to find like-minded Republicans who do not support a government shutdown, who do not support Ted Cruz’s whole idea of a government shutdown, of Rand Paul being isolationist,” said King. “I was also going to look for Republicans who don’t hate gay people and understand that Obamacare is based on a conservative proposal from the Heritage Foundation and therefore not the end of the world, but I didn’t want to risk coming up empty.”

What a phony this guy is when it comes to terrorism. He will condemn all acts such as Hizbollah and Hamas and champions himself on being the king of Homeland Security, but he never ever condemned the IRA during its time in the 60’s and 70’s when every day they were blowing up people-including those poor horses!
A Republican I could actually vote for…OMG did I just say that!!!
Are you sure he’s not talking about “the Carpetbaggers”
Love it Peter!
