Here we go again. The race baiting is back. Guess the "terrorist" label is becoming old hat.

Can you please explain to me how expecting our country to live within its means, not borrow money we can't possibly pay back, spend money we don't need to be spending, and cutting up the credit card has no place in modern times? You mean in the Socialist States of American that you dream of?

Do you live that way in your personal life? Max out the cards, default on your debts, spend with no regard to how much money you have, splurge on frivolous things thinking you need it?

We all know that the actual math doesn't factor into their reasoning.

The trouble with the Tea Party is they want to transform this country into something we won't even recognize in 10-15 years, If they have their way, we'll be a 3rd rate Banana Republic and all the things that made us great will be gone. Government and compromise are not bad things. Sure, we need changes but most of us still want a government and government programs! The Tea Party is not fit to lead; their only mission is to destroy from within.
You think it a good idea? We are in this mess because they spent about 820 days NOT passing a budget, and spending us into a ratings downgrade

The self righteous boobs in congress barely do their jobs as it is now, so they hate the TEA party for forcing them to actually do their jobs. They want a committee to disenfranchise the nation, so just a few select folks will have power in congress, leaving the vast majority to wave in the breeze.

Just lookig at the senate finance sommitteee debate on tax reform yesterday it really seems that the Tea party came out of this way ahead. That is not surprising really has they are a movement that came out of states spending debates .Basically the tax and spend days of the 60'd thru early 2000's is dead on the political front because of its results.Een europe is way ahead of this after seeing what cutting government spending has done for the German economy.One has to remmeber that the tea Party is a move,nt ;nt a political party and is having a effect on both parties now in solution thinking.

Over the next 14 months you will see the attacks on the TParty coming from both GOP and Dems. They will be the subject of many a late night monologue.

Hopefully the GOP and Dems have more important things to do than just attack the Tea Part over the next 14 months. Maybe run this country responsibly?

We assume this based on what?
That they wanted cuts in spending? That they want to lower the deficit? Otr that they wont play by the hardliners rules?
Im not a tea party person. But at least they aren't the dems or the neocons.
This party hardliner crap is proof that both major parties care absolutely nothing about our country.

anti-Tea Partiers are deep in stage 3. Ignoring and ridicule didn't work.
