No matter which side you bat on, this is an absolute no non-sense thread.

What's the C/D sentiment on the tea party?

I had a similar thought about them at the beginning of the debt celing negotiations. I was thinking, "okay good, way to put career politician walruses in their spots". But then, they went too loco at the expense of the country's image.

As I mentioned in an earlier post, at this point, for me...they are the only ones I see who can get us back on track and to a better place. All of the other coolaid drinkers on both sides have already demonstrated clearly that their way won't work. I need some real hope and change...

the Teaparty was formed on a good idea, but has been pimped by big business and certain "job creators(?)" and has morphed into the Teabagger movement that is hellbent on removing the current President "DAMN THE PEOPLE!"

The mainline tea party representatives we have are not that great, but they are still better than the horrible establishment republicans and democrats.

How by having these inexperienced stubborn azzwipes hold the republican party, the country and world hostage? They have apparently have no concept on how the worldwide economy runs and people want to follow their nonsensical reasoning?

I'm guessing you actually believe the government will make spending cuts without having its feet held to the fire?

Hint: (it won't.)
