GOP to Tea Party: Sorry, No Earmark Ban

[AlphaCrab]

The rift between basic Tea Party values and Republicans has begun...careful who you sleep with--you might just get tea bagged.

It's official: GOP leaders in the House and Senate have both confirmed that they will buck calls from the Tea Party and not back a ban on federal earmarks.
House Republican leader John Boehner addressed the issue Thursday night during an interview with Fox News, stating that he approved of a temporary moratorium on congressional earmarks but would not pursue a complete ban.
