BOEHNER VS. THE BAGGERS, ROUND 2

Speaker Boehner is not afraid to continue his fight against the Baggers and their organizations:

House Speaker John Boehner, whose strategies have been repeatedly thwarted by Tea Party revolts in recent years, was blunt today when asked whether he thought the ultra-conservatives should get in line.

"I don't care what they do," Boehner replied.

The speaker lashed out at Tea Party activists.

"Well, frankly, I think they're misleading their followers," House Speaker John Boehner told reporters today. "I think they're pushing our members in places where they don't want to be."

"And frankly, I just think that they've lost all credibility," Boehner said.

Maybe Boehner was told about this poll:

Just 30 percent of Americans view the tea party favorably in a new Gallup poll released Wednesday, the movement’s lowest point since Gallup began polling about it during its rise in 2010.

Also in a first, a majority of Americans had an unfavorable view of the tea party, at 51 percent.
