Congress has lost its mind...

You don't need to go all coy on me, Merc. There's plenty of examples of substantial minority groups swinging a party by its tail. A recent Wall Street Journal/NBC News poll showed 35% of potential voters support the Tea Party and they favor the Republicans by 84% - That's a nice little chunk of the vote as shown by the 2010 elections when Tea Party-endorsed candidates upset established Republicans in several primaries, such as Alaska, Colorado, Delaware, Florida, Nevada, New York, South Carolina and Utah. (I got my stats from Wikipedia if anyone cares.)

Obamacare is a perfect example, the Dems and Obama played smoke and mirrors with the costs and how it was going to "pay for itself", what hose shit. They fudged the numbers to the GAO to make it look like a bed of roses, everybody gets what they want..... it will break the bank. The Stimulus package! "Hundreds of Thousands of Shovel Ready Jobs", more BS, unemployment rate still above 9% and no end in site. Obama, Pelosi, and Reid OWN it.. Downgrading of US for the first time in history! Obama and the Dems own it... The Republickins have their share, but they don't OWN it like the Dems do, not by a long shot. Guess we will see in 2012.... How'd that work out for the Dems in 2010?

No thanks. I like the view from up here. The feeling of deja vu is interesting too. This stuff has only been argued about a million times before on this forum with no one's mind changed one iota. All, I'll say is that by refusing to pay taxes like any other responsible citizens would, the tea flavored Republicans are just as much at fault or more than the democrats.
