the boston tea party she's with the tea act which led to the boston tea party was simply an increase in taxes on t.v. paid by american colonists i think that's where the whole taxation without representation mean campaign but actually the purpose of the t.m. act was to give the east india company full and unlimited access to the american tea trade and to exempt that company from having to pay taxes to britain on t. export into the american colonies and even give the company a tax refund on millions of pounds of tea that they were unable to sell and holding an inventory in other words the tea act of seven hundred seventy three was the largest corporate tax break at that point in time in the history of the world. and since at that time most of the british government and royalty were stockholders in the east india company it was also a classic example of crony capitalism. the purpose of the tea act was to increase the profitability of the east india company so its stock holders which included the king. could make more money and help the company drive its colonial small business competit

not the question of tea party or not. the question of whether they're a bad candidate or not. >> what does o'reilly think of these people? he must be looking at rove like what's your latest stuff here? what are you selling here? >> exactly. >> he might as well -- karl rove should have written on the white board, i have no principles. karl rove doesn't care what the ideology is. he's just selling a product. he's the guy who described the iraq war as a product and said you don't take a product to market in august. this guy is into power. he's always been into getting power for its own sake. his first ever campaign he was involved in was in college when he snuck on to the campaign of a democrat running for something like treasurer in illinois and wrote those leaflets he distributed to homeless shelters saying for a good time and free women and liquor come to this democrat's rally. this guy has no principles. >> sliding down the iq squall here to texas governor rick perry told laura engram today the tea party isn't at fault f

this is not tea party versus establishment. >> welcome back to "hardball."t his peak he was called bush's brain and the architect, but today our own howard fineman wrote, karl rove is done. rove's new effort to back conservative candidates who he thinks can win has incited a civil war. gop bigwigs like rove who would like to move past primaries that brought them losses and the likes of o'donnell, angle, akin, and mourdock. tea party types are outraged that rove would try to insert himself into the democratic process. matt kibbe is president of the tea party group freedomworks. matt, thanks for being here. would you rather win primaries or general elections, and isn't that what this is all about? >> well, i think i want to win both, and the definition of a competitive candidate, the conservative that can win, is very much up for reinterpretation when rove gets involved because, remember, he thought arlen specter was the most conservative man for the job in pennsylvania. he thought charlie crist was in florida. he thought david dewhurst was in texas, and our v

that's who the tea party is. it's a real part of our culture. chris: and they're happy with this shutdown. >> they want the shutdown. chris: $85 billion taken out of the economy. >> this is going to be a real deal. the world will not stop on march 1. but there will be problems with air travel. there will be problems with meat inspection. research at research university is going to be cut. head start will be cut. it's going to be real. and it's just the beginning. don't forget, there's another thing called a continuing resolution that ends on march 27. that could shut down the government and there's another debt ceiling. so that whole "groundhog day" thing has three more iterations just in the next few months. chris: katty, you're laughing but here we go again. a lot of these cuts will take government spending in some areas discretionary spending down to where it was as a percentage of the economy where it was in the 1950's. these are serious cuts. but look, president doesn't get hurt that much. 49% of the country blame republicans. and 31% blame

the tea partiers see this as their mission, to just blow things up.y're not here -- john boehner may be here to save the american dream for his children but that's not what the tea party is here. they're here to dismantle our government and the way it works. they're doing quite well with that. what john boehner has to decide is whose side is he on? is he on the side of the country or will he be let himself be led around and dictated to by these tea partiers. at a point americans don't say w -- care who said what to whom, who started it. that's part of the problem. i think the republicans are so busy fighting each other, they can't even see what a bigger problem they've got. >> luke, if you're still with us, i'd loov to ask you this. is speaker boehner, did he have some kind of experience, epiphany over the christmas period, where previously he was prepared to resolve this matter with the president and now the tea party has got back at him and he's back under their control and their sway. is that what happened? >> reporter: i think what karen said is r

todd aiken was not a tea party candidate and tea partiers supported the other -- >> the guy who said,pe in a missouri... >> right. and our object is, to avoid having stupid candidates who can to the win general elections and are undisciplined and can't raise money and i'm spputting together the support, because the money is too difficult to be raised to spend money on candidates who have little chance of winning in a general election. >> chris: the tea party thinks you are going after -- let me say. there were plenty of bad establishment candidates in north dakota and virginia and wisconsin and a lot of them blew chances in races -- >> i think that is right. let's take case of indiana. we had a candidate, richard murdoch, who lost the general election in a state comfortably won by mitt romney and reelected republicans up and down the valley. two people are responsible for the loss in the indiana race and one is him, he ran an undisciplined campaign and said if a woman was raped and conceived a child it was god's will and there is another person to blame and, senator lugar lost touch w

tea partiers, look out.may not be able to beat democrats but he's got big, bad you in his sights. so the fight has begun. while steve king, matt kibby, joe walsh, rush limbaugh, all the inhas been nants of the cuckoo nest are cscrambling because karl rove is drawing lines in the sand. want republicans to win? cut out the crazies he he's? want the democrats, stop giving them easy targets, rape candidates and witches. stop making the democrats look smart and reasonable by running stupid and crazy candidates. the joy is, i have to say this, and it's really quite funny, each of the right wing factions thinks that they are the same ones, they are the ones who have to protect the party from the others. well, tonight the duel to the death drives deeper. it's do or die, fight to the death. the winners get to run against hillary clinton. the losers get to say it's not their fault they lost. wait a minute. that doesn't make any sense. and neither does this fight on the right for the right to say you're right. with me

the coffee party, what about the hot tea party? what about cold tea party? >> can you just do one speech? my goodness. why have four or five tea party speeches? >> we will wrap this up and read some of our responses from our viewers. because frankly, they are much more -- they are still as passionate but perhaps they use better grammar, i don't know. time for your responses the question will the state of the union further divide us? brian says the more appropriate question is how much further can the divide get before the country completely fall as part. this from amber, no one can ever say that republicans need help alienating the american people. they're doing a great job all by themselves. keep the conversation going. facebook.com/carol cnn. our next topic today, why do some view accused cop killer christopher dorner as a vigilante hero? except it's 2% . go to e-trade and find out how much our advice and guidance costs. spoiler alert: it's low. it's guidance on your terms, not ours. e-trade. less for us. more for you. starts with arthritis pain and a choi

>> because it is not the tea party.he reason why we keep losing as republicans is because we keep going down the path of we keep nominating moderates and moderates don't win. why are we going to keep trying to sit there and listen to people unfortunately like governor jindal that say we need to move more to the left and become more like the democrats and appeal to all of these demographics. that's what's causing us to lose elections. let's go back to the ronald reagan years. let's go back to conservatists. what we believe. let's make a clear definition line between republicans and democrats then we can win. i realize it was actually the administration and those advising hip people like karl rove that our coffin belongs to. >> i'm wondering who are the real republicans. listen those guys were kind of their first scottie and you came along. they were more than happy to have you and join the party. so what i wonder is can you both coexist together? will it turn into two different parties? >> first of all, i know those on t

he has tea party support. i wonder, when you look at that and you look at the republican party, do you and he represent different parts of the republican party? are you rivals? who is the face of the republican party right now? >> i don't think anybody gets to choose who the face is or say that you or someone else is the face. i think we do the best to promote what we believe in. one of the things i have talked about, that there aren't a lot of other republicans talking about is that we shouldn't send foreign aid to people who are burning our flag and chanting death to america. i think i represent a wing of the republican party that doesn't want to send good money after bad to egypt. or to several of these countries. i would put strings on the money to pakistan. i would say to pakistan, you don't get more money until you release the doctor that helps us get bin laden. there are things that distinguish a lot of different republicans. it doesn't make them bad or me right or them wrong. what it means is there is
