Glad to be of service.

God Bless America.

1. There aren't enough House Democrats to pass anything...
...without some GOPers -- Teabaggers or otherwise -- voting with them.

Since the 2010 election, Repukes have the majority in the House.

2. It's not Tea Bagger controlled yet, it's still leans neo-con
I'd estimate true Tea Baggers are roughly 20-25% of the pukes in the House. The term is thrown out a bit too loosely. For example, Bush II was an awful neo-con, but the furthest thing away from a Tea Bagger.

3. Beg to differ.
It IS tea bag controlled b/c the rest of the party (non-tea bag) can't pass anything w/o the votes of the tea baggers. Therefore, they're calling the shots. A minority is controlling the policy and the destiny of the country and the world.

4. How does that make any sense?

5. There are no scenarios the baggers will vote for, so Democrats are needed for anything to pass.
Of course some Repulicans will be needed too, they aren't all playing kamakazie.

(PS - that will never happen.)

6. Some republicans?
The only way to drag in any republicans, who vote almost exclusively as a block, is to gut social services and entitlement programs. That is not a compromise I want our party to accept.
