Looks like the Tea Party has overreached, more than anything I ever imagined. Talk about a sobering reality. For the zealots who frequent this board, as well as their heroes, time to wake up and smell the coffee.
After the downgrade, a direct result of the tea party's manufactured crisis and absolute refusal to compromise, America holds them responsible for this mess. Furthermore, while the tea party screams about the "will of the people", the citizens of this country CLEARLY want something other than what they are selling, including raising taxes to deal with our fiscal issues.
where was the "tea party" in 2004? oh yeah voting for bush who doubled the deficit..ran the economy in the ground with greed due to government deregulation and tax cuts for the wealthy.... right.. tea party.. it's all about just government spending and ONLY government spending... right *cough*bullsh^t*cough*
I don't trust the tea party movement as far as I can spit...
In the last part of President Bush's term he totally blew it. People started realizing the government waste. The information became more available to the American people as to the waste that was going on. Now it's time to take a stand and take our country back from having government stronghold. You don't need the government running the whole show and giving our money away to needless programs and countries.

That they have been told to think by the Liberal Msm's.
They have been told that the TEA Party is BAD! No real reason just they are bad and against obama so they must be destroyed, called terrorists etc. They have been told they are only conservatives so that is reason enough for the HATE! From the party that brags about diversity and Tolerance!

What's really funny, when you ask these people if they have been to an event, they have not. So, nothing like believing what you want with out personal experience.
When I went ot my first event, I thought it was going to be old people and Obama haters, it was anything but that. Matter of fact, it was a black guy who was selling posters of Obama with Nazi signs in Obama's eye's. People need to get out and see what the Tea Party really stands for. This administration is making sheep of you people.
So what the OP is saying is that more Americans approve of Congress since the GOP took the House than when the Democrats controlled the House. After all, the disapproval rating has gone from 94% disapproval in 2010 to 87% disapproval in 2011. That is a 7% improvement, thanks to the GOP.
The Senate could go to the GOP, but the House could easily flip back Democratic. I wouldn't get too cocky when your best candidate for the White House thinks Medicare and Social Security is unconstitutional.
exactly, Guess they dont want the senior or people under age 40 vote, lol.....
Bachmann’s assertion that Obama is stealing from seniors to benefit the young is undercut by the fact that the Congressional Budget Office, when it analyzed the Ryan plan, concluded that it would put significant pressure on people younger than 55, who would have no choice but to accept it. (The traditional fee-for-service plan of Medicare eventually would fade away as people now older than 55 die off.)
Not much a change o congress really since the tea party came into being. The congress has been at record low levels for some time before at 20% approval. But the you would expexct it will al of governamnt's approvals dropig and Obama's at levels approaching Bush's last year of second term.

Where are the obamatrons TODAY?
Those of you who blasted Bush for wars (of which most of congress approved).
Those of you who lauded obama for his stance on raising the debt ceiling in 2006?
"The fact that we are here today to debate raising America’s debt limit is a sign of leadership failure. It is a sign that the U.S. Government can’t pay its own bills. It is a sign that we now depend on ongoing financial assistance from foreign countries to finance our Government’s reckless fiscal policies. … Increasing America’s debt weakens us domestically and internationally. Leadership means that ‘the buck stops here. Instead, Washington is shifting the burden of bad choices today onto the backs of our children and grandchildren. America has a debt problem and a failure of leadership. Americans deserve better."
Where are those of you who are blasting Gov. Perry for questioning the quantitative easing or his answer to the question "do you think President obama is patriotic?", when obama said the following.....
"The problem is,is that the way Bush has done it over the last eight years is to take out a credit card from the Bank of China in the name of our children,driving up the national debt from 5 trillion for the first 42 presidents — number 43 added $4 trillion by his lonesome,so that we now have $9 trillion of debt that we are going to have to pay back — $30,000 for every man,woman and child. That’s irresponsible. It’s unpatriotic."
If not for double standards, you lefties would have none.
On top of that, you refuse to admit that obama took a bad situation and made it worse.
He "Never let a crisis go to waste!"
