Is there any doubt that the actions of the Tea Party Republicans have brought us to the brink of depression... Then blame liberals... You don't drastically cut back government spending in a recession, unless your goal is to cause a depression... Also keep in mind that virtually all of the debt was created by the Republicans with their unfunded wars and tax cuts for the wealthy...

Wow..they did all this is a mere 7 months of being in Congress ?
They are one powerful minority non-official political group aren't they ?

Imagine if they had the majority and if they became a real political party.

It's so easy to point fingers to a group you don't like and blame them for all the problems in America which started way before "tea party" was even born.

Is Libya an unfunded Republican war ?
Is Yemen an unfunded Republican war ?
Is Somalia an unfunded Republican war ?

Is the continued occupation of Iraq and Afghanistan since 2009 also an unfunded Republican war ?

Where have you been for 2009 and 2010 when the Dems had total control of the government and did nothing to end these wars ?
The Dems are now war mongers like it or not.

These postings are getting beyond ridiculous. What did the tea party do?

Hello?

The economic numbers were abysmal way, way before the debt ceiling debate and if the Left thinks putting the blame on that issue will fly....not a chance.

Dang. So glad you explained what caused the economic crisis this country is in.

I was under the impression that it all started with FNMA and derivatives and profit-taking on Wall Street . . . and subprime "liar loans" mortgages . . . and folks buying homes they knew they could never afford . . . and then was exacerbated by "stimulus" fake jobs that cost tax payers a gazillion dollars but solved nothing . . . and bad global trade policies that encouraged our manufacturers to move their operations to China and Malaysia . . . thus causing massive job loss here in the USA.

I sure do appreciate your making it clear that it was a few people who caused all this. Amazing that some folks carrying posters, attending rallies and voting in the polls was able to collapse the USA.

The desperation level has reached DEFCON 4 in the Progressive camp I see.

More HuffPo-style emotional appeals. Do you have anything to back up your claim that 25/535 people brought us to the brink of depression?
