They will get less jobs due to less government spending on infrastructure.

They will get more billion dollar, ego driven, military adventures.

They'll get lawmakers even more in bed with corporate lobbyists..

Poor fools.
Hint: Government does not create jobs. Private business do.

Do you have a job? Who pays your wages or salary? A poor man?

Is your employer more likely to hire people and expand his business if his taxes are increased, or decreased? Which seems more logical?

According to the U.S. Constitution, one of the purposes of establishing the Federal Government is to "provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare [promote growth and prosperity, if you will] and secure the blessings of liberty".
  1. Do you think that is what the Obama administration and the Democrats are doing?
  2. If yes, what evidence can you provide that they are?
I suggest that your knowledge of what drives an economy is lacking.

The Tea Party will dumbfound historians for centuries... it will probably be a unique and separate chapter in history books labelled "When the People protested against themselves"

So you like seeing other people's hopes dashed? You take glee in that? And then you claim THEY are fully of hate and anger? Could your post be any more ironic?

You are emblematic of the right wing in that you achieve more satisfaction from winning an election than actually doing something. The OP's article correctly assesses the situation. The Republican party has no intention of following any Tea Party talking points or following through on their promises. They are the same old Republicans from before moving in lockstep with the corporations that funded them. They will do nothing but rant and holler and invent reasons why they are ranting and hollering, all the while not addressing a single issue. Kind of like your post, when you think about it.

The hate and anger from the left about the TP movement is amazing.

Get used to them, they have shoved the liberals right on their butts and will help us to end the anti American liberals running anything in America.
Hate and anger? I'd say your post is exemplary of those two emotions.

This Left vs. Right argueing = "BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH." "Yeah well BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH."

There's a summary for you people tuning in late.

Good Lord. Don't you people annoy yourselves with this stuff?

Default A dose of reality...

The tea party boys will soon find out that they will have two choices when they arrive in DC.

1. They can do as their GOP bosses tell them to
2. They can be an irrelevant powerless minority

Their agenda will get weak lip service, if that.

Are you emblematic of the Left?

Isn't that the same thing as some Repubs have been saying? They don't want to work together; they just want to get rid of Obama.
