Readers Digest offers eleven rules for raising a teenager. Which rule do you think would most help John Boehner in dealing with the Tea Party Republicans?
A) Set Rules: The Tea Party does not want you to be their friend. What they need is for you to be a reliable responsible role model worthy of their respect,
B) Don't Debate the Tea Party, Ever.
C) Don't Buy Your Tea Party a Car. Make them earn it.
D) Encourage Sports :Participation – this develops perseverance and cheerfully functioning as a team member.
E) Let the Congress know you in a good way, so that members do not dive under the desk when you approach.
F) Your Tea Party needs rules, else the House chamber begins to seriously resemble a gerbil cage. Some good house rules: No name calling or suggesting the President needs to spend time in a soft padded room.
G) Your Tea Party needs to work....Anything that encourages a work ethic and sense of duty is a good thing.
H) To know your Tea Party, get to know the Tea Party's friends Your goal is to penetrate the veil of secrecy.... by being warm and kind, and by asking questions that don’t sound like an interrogation.
I) Look at your Tea Party daily and it’s okay to stare. Notice any changes in appearance, hygiene, mood, etc.
J) Interact meaningfully with your Tea Party daily, and by that I don’t mean asking, “Did you pass the debt increase yet?”
K) Know that if your Tea Party gets into hot water, he/she may be too embarrassed or afraid of your wrath and disappointment to tell you.
L) . Just when you think your Tea Party Member has learned from his/her mistake, they will make another doozy. Be prepared for this. Remember: the human brain is not fully formed in Tea Party members. Yikes
