If you any foresight at all, you should immediately go to your nearest big box store and buy a case or two of Kleenex, cause, baby, you are going to need 'em on that historical day coming up in Nov. 2012.

Kleenex, lots of Kleenex. Visine too.

BTW, your post is a joke.

I never did but I was always sure that the states would have approved that amendment in less than 2 years.

Damn did those people want a lot from the Dems in order to go along. Yes, I know that the Dems and the MSM never mentioned that part of the story since they were bent upon hurting the Tea Party people as bad as possible.

If I had been a part of the whole 1000 people who were polled I would have had to tell them that I will certainly vote for my Congressman next time around. He promised to do what he did on that vote. Only 19 others if the group held their ground. The other 59 of them voted with the establishment Dems and GOPs so the bill carried the House quite easily.

Was it really so much for those people to ask for that one tiny thing to get them to vote for the increase of Obama's credit card?
I know that you are aware that is not all they wanted. They wanted every thing their way.

How about when the dems/obama had everything their way?

You remember - when they shoved obamacare down this country's throat, AGAINST the will of the people?

I guess that was ok, right?

Yeah, you keep telling yourself that.

Obamacare continues to be unpopular and cost the dems the House in 2010 and will likely cost the Senate and possibly the WH in 2012.

So let's not be talking about compromise and paying heed to the will of the people.

Now if only we could keep the Supreme Court from ruling the law unconstitutional until October 2012. Would that not be a nice "surprise?"

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.

ROTFLMAO. Get real, man; there's so much inaccuracy in what you've posted here a rational poster wouldn't know where to begin. With the likes of Maxine Waters supporting your point of view, I can say only, that right there is living proof why voters should be passing literacy tests.
