I figure the tea party electorates n politicians would be stripped of their assets in any future revolution. No revolution here, but if one were to take place, I am afraid the tea party would be at the vanguard. These are people who are very pissed and radicalized. But not to worry, the vast majority of Americans are moderate.

I admire the TP for sticking to their principals.. They wanted far more cuts to the bloated government, that would then free up capital to the private markets. And the manner in which they stuck to their guns sets the stage for future progress in reducing government spending and using what is spent in a more efficient manner that actually promotes economic growth. We passed the "debt deal" and now the Rating Agencies, the same ones who helped create the mortgage mess, are now threatening to downgrade us. Revenge, or just a new-found sense of "integrity"? It's all just a big game, but the TP representatives apparently were saying something that would have taken the wind out of the sails of the RAs; reduce the debt and rein in government spending. Hawk
