but now they claim that the Tea Party is completely destroying the country and economy. Which is it?

If you claim the Tea Party is just a very small group of people in this country how do they have the power to control the debt ceiling situation?

If you say it in a cool way people will believe you and ignore reality. Yes we can.

unemployment at 8 percent
transparency
troops out of Afghanistan

The policies of the republocrats are proven failures. Obama or McCain either one would lead us into a ditch. Who gets the peoples money was the difference in the bailouts. Not stop the bailouts which is what the people wanted but who should get what.
Those war mongering scumbags with their horrible policies argue over which way is best to occupy Afghanistan when the answer is to quit killing innocent people and just leave.

Government needs to stay out and stick to their enumerated duties instead of raising us from cradle to grave.

It only takes a couple of idiots in the House to stop the government from working as it should, anyone paying attention would know that

My Congressman, although not a Tea Partier, was elected in 2010. When he talks to us on his phone town halls he keeps talking about around 90 of those people who think like he does. How can you say a couple when there have been so many changes in the Boehner bill in the past 24 hours to get enough of them to vote for it? A couple? Come on and get real.

And the myriad idiots in the senate ( the biggest one being from my state) don't have a thing to do with this, I suppose? I can attest to Reids idiocy first hand. He's been razing northern NV to the ground since his narrow victory against Dahl 3 elections back.
Yep, the Dems have so much better idiots though. With wack jobs like Reid and Pelosi leading the Dems charge I gotta wonder how any one leaning on left wing, Democratic doctrine as an answer to our prayers ( oh poop....that's a dirty word ain't it...my most profound apologies...not) gets off calling anyone an idiot.
The Dens wont rest till this country has pretty blue helmets on non English speaking troops cramming their ideas down our throats ....for our own good of course.
We average Americans just don't understand ....if we would just stop our incessant harping on our representatives actually following their constituants wishes and trust that they know what'd best for our nation ...sheesh..so much could be accomplished.
Indeed.......

Because one side has idiots does not mean that it excuses the facts that the other side has them also. Right now the ball is in the court of the House idiots, then we can deal with the Senate, problem is the House idiots cannot even work together.

Yeah, right... and we can see where that got us. Lowering the credit rating because the U.S. has no control on spending.

Actually, we don't know what the Senate can do because their leader doesn't let them consider bills that he doesn't like.

He will have no choice in the matter very soon, lets see if two sides can come up with something that works, I bet they will, the NATION and the WORLD is watching.
