Exactly. They are the wild card, and they could hurt us all very badly. Everyone else is predictable. I think they aren't even sure what they are doing or how far they are willing to go.

I heard some commentator saying that this week is the week where everyone is going to put forward their plans that will never pass so they can point to their plans come election time and appease their base. And next week is when they finally put this thing to bed by making deals. But I'm not so sure the Tea party people are going to make a deal next wheek when they are supposed to.
