Just after the SCOTUS’ announced its decision to uphold the controversial ‘Obamacare’ legislation, members of the Congressional ‘Tea Party’ Caucus convened to express their frustration and dissent against the the U.S. Supreme Court.
Congresswoman Michele Bachmann (R-MN), who leads the Tea Party Caucus, was joined by Congresswoman Sandy Adams (R-FL), Congressman Jeff Landry (R-LA), as well as a slew of other caucus members to rail against the decision.
What was very peculiar, and an obvious move of desperation, was the appearance and participation on Congressman John Mica. Mica is not a fan of the ‘Tea Party’, not by a long shot.
A few months back we wrote about the growing ‘Tea Party’ problem that Congressman Mica was creating when he inexplicably decided to take a couple swipes at grassroots(Tea Party) activists.
“When it comes to the new guys, we are talking about amateur hour. These guys need help finding their way to the bathroom.”-Congressman John Mica (Mica’s “Amateur Hour” Congressional Freshman)
And this-
During a meeting with 10 Tea Party leaders in Orlando, Florida, Mica started off the meeting discussing the ‘How it works’ process in Washington, D.C. and stressed that “it takes time” for Representatives to effect change and move policy forward. Mica, who has been in Congress since 1993, is term limited out of his position as Chairman of the Transportation and Infrastructure Committee and it’s fair to say that he would be he is qualified to provide this “insight” on how Washington, D.C. really works.
According to one prominent Tea party activist that attended the meeting, Mica’s statement that, “You need me, you need guys like me to get things done” came across as a bit overconfident and showed that he was disconnected to the activist movement that has helped reshape the political landscape over the past several years.
Now more disturbing revelations about voter intimidation are coming out from Mica’s campaign. Just a couple of days ago, the Shark Tank first reported that Mica’s campaign was allegedly threatening Adams’s supporters, by telling them that their careers would be “ruined”, if they continued supporting the freshman congresswoman.
Well now there are more victims coming forward. Three more have come forward today to tell their stories, but all asked to not be named for fear of retribution by Mica and his campaign.
One activists said he/she was told that they “would no longer have a future in politics.” Another prominent activist was also told that her career would be finished, if he/she continued supporting Adams. But Mica is not the one calling these activists, its his staff and his wife. Yes, his wife is actively ‘reaching out’ donors and other.

The FL RINO Elitist Politic Structure MUST be infiltrated and cease and desist. It is criminal – all for the structure and NOT “WE the People”. I’ve learned how it works and it is disgusting. FL voters who actually work in the private sector would be livid if they knew what goes on; the pecking order, the special interest groups.
May the Tea Party conquer and destroy these Progressive Socialists and return this country back to a Republic for which it stood (and is no longer).
In all honesty, I do not think that gov’t employees should be allowed to vote – they are, after all, Public Servants whose salaries are paid for by the private sector …as are their taxes – ALL of their money is provided to them by the private sector …as are their homes, their cars, their food, their R and R, their health care, auto insurance, pensions …and the list goes ON and ON.
Mica is 15 points behind Sandra Adams on the conservative rating system of Heritage Action; both Adams and Mica are weak on growth issues as measured by the Club for Growth. Either one would be better then the Democrat from a free market, lower taxes and fewer regulations measurement, for sure. But Mica has been in there for 20 years during which time profligate spending was the name of the game and resulted in the huge national debt. He didn’t seem to have done much of anything to fight the trend. He voted to increase the debt limit and he even voted against a bill to cut subsidies to the Nat’l Endowment for Arts and other wasteful, useless agencies which Adams voted to cut. Adams voted to increase the debt limit as well. Neither is perfect but we need new blood –he’s been at the trough too long. Term limits!
As Chairman of the Transportation Committee, Mica can legitimately be called “the Father of the TSA”.
Mica says he doesn’t like what the TSA has become, but it was he who when faced with a problem instinctively reached for the big government solution. Voters need to thank him in November for his part in eroding the 4th Amendment of all travelers and advancing the American police-state.
The Tea Party Reps need to stick by their guns and John Mica needs to go home. He is one that can’t get over not getting rail in Florida
