Actually, yeah, there is doubt.

The Tea Party at heart is a really confused, angry reaction to our government and the economic crisis, but it is only a reaction. They did not cause the crisis.

You're right that they blame Democrats, but that's only because their facts are from a biased source, and often wrong or incomplete. They tend to get all their news from Republican news sources, who will of course fabricate a narrative that the Democrats are somehow to blame for all this. Either that or the Tea Party considers George W. Bush, Phil Gramm, and Alan Greenspan to be liberals, I dunno.

30 years of borrowing both privately and publicly is collapsing the economy. This is a total system failure.

Amazing how the cliff walkers take their orders and run with it. Can these people even think for themselves or do they get some orders when to eat dinner and got to bed from the DNC too?

Please explain to me exactly how the Tea Party is to blame? Didn't many Democrats vote for this? Didn't most of the Tea Party candidates vote against it? Those Tea Party candidates have only been in office since November. Again, how is it the Tea Party's fault?

Virtually all of the debt? Wow, talk about rewriting history. You're so wrong on so many levels, I don't think I could possibly begin to refute your lie.

Wait a minute OP.. you are telling me that the economy was great and in the last week we've had an economic collapse?

WHAT EXACTLY is different now from last week? Again, what exactly did the Tea Partiers do to cause a collapse?

we need to cut spending

we cant sustain a INTEREST ONLY payment(currently with lw interest rates is about 400 billion..but will skyrocket when interest rates do go up) on 14 trillion (now thanks to obamy 16.7 trillion) debt

the liberals (fascists) have increased the debt from 8.6 trillion when they took over in Jan 2007 to currently over 14.6 trillion with the debt ceiling raised (for about 10-13 months) to 16.7 trillion





what will the liberals excuse be in late2012/early2013 when we need to raise the ceiling again????

Yup..when you can't get your way resort to name calling.
And "terrorist" is the favorite word of the Dems these days.
They are all upset they can't spend money we don't have anymore.

Sources: Joe Biden likened tea partiers to terrorists - Jonathan Allen and John Bresnahan - POLITICO.com
“We have negotiated with terrorists,” an angry Doyle said, according to sources in the room. “This small group of terrorists have made it impossible to spend any money.”

Biden, driven by his Democratic allies’ misgivings about the debt-limit deal, responded: “They have acted like terrorists.”

Biden’s office initially declined to comment about what the vice president said inside the closed-door session, but after POLITICO published the remarks, spokeswoman Kendra Barkoff said: “The word was used by several members of Congress. The vice president does not believe it’s an appropriate term in political discourse.”

Another left wing ranting and raving postings with absolutely no facts. Tell me again what the tea party did to cause an economic collapse and causing people to become unemployed.. These postings by lefties are getting beyond pathetic, a pure sign of desperation that you dont want to admit liberal falure.
