It's gonnabe nasty, folks. Downgrade looks "highly" likely by at least one agency.

It's being deemed almost inevitable in the street here. I just ran into some TD Ameritrade fellas this am. God save my portfolio.

Need a translation?

That is what is commonly said of some (rather un-adorable) children.

Calling them a bunch of kick-their-heels, hold-their-breath-until-their-face-turns-blue brats.

Tea Partiers at least got off their Donkeys and did something they believed in.

While self seekers tried to strategize more zero's in their bank accounts.

To Me they are Patriots and slowed the destruction of this Country.

Long LIve the Tea Party movement.

The rest of the self seekers will be left to rot.

As did brown shirts, lynch mobs, and Ted K . . . . .

Might be a good idea to check those belief systems before charging into action.

Sorry to be a retard, but someone is going to have to draw me a cartoon to show how any they have done meets that fantasy feat.

i don't see what name calling tea partiers has to do with the debt ceiling issue.

the liberals need to make up their minds whether the tea party is a useless obsolete fading entity destined for oblivion, or whether they have the power to sink the entire economy.

i don't think they can be both.

i don't believe that the tea party is pushing the "spending beyond your means" agenda, but you can correct me if i am wrong. i have to say that i find it very interesting that now obama says that the debt crisis was "manufactured":

Reuters.com— The U.S. debt ceiling crisis -- manufactured and created by Republicans -- had an unnecessary negative impact on the economy, President Barack Obama said on Wednesday. (end)

really, he said that? maybe he thinks people don't know how to read.

he should be embarrassed, but i am sure that he isn't.
