Pure bullshit. The Tea Party wanted to see deeper spending cuts than what came out of the debt deal. Call Al what he is. A liar. The meme from Dem HQ is everything that is bad is to be labeled a Tea Party problem. Job 1 for the media is to be a watchdog for the government. They have turned into a propaganda machine for the dems. Listening to Medved today and he pointed out that if we go back to Andrew Jackson, the last POTUS to have zero debt, and add the total amount of debt thru W's terms it consumes 40% of GDP. Obama, using his own debt projections {which are BS}, consumes 70% of GDP. Sure... blame the Tea Party. The ONLY group demanding a stop to the insane spending. SDG

Check your Intel stock, Ten, then thank the Tea Party and the Republican party. They've cost America 1000 points off the DJIA in the last two weeks.

The Abortion in Mitt's Past SALON REVEALS DETAILS OF RELATIVE'S DEATH By Evann Gastaldo, Newser Staff newser.com Posted Aug 8, 2011 11:35 AM CDT (NEWSER) – Mitt Romney has long had a reputation as a flip-flopper, and now Salon reveals the full story behind his well-known change of heart on abortion. In 1994, Romney declared in a Senate debate with Ted Kennedy that though he was personally against abortion, he believed it should be "safe and legal" because a relative had died years prior after a botched back-alley abortion. By the time he ran for president in 2008, of course, he had done a 180 to become completely pro-life, both personally and politically. Until now, the story behind his relative's death had never been revealed. Salon has discovered the never-revealed relative in question: Ann Keenan, whose older brother married Romney's older sister in the late 1950s. She died of an infection in 1963 at age 21, when Romney was 16, after what her death certificate calls a "criminal recent abortion." The story was hushed up, apparently in part because Romney's father was governor of Michigan at the time, though her obituary requested that donations be made to Planned Parenthood. Salon notes that many unclean abortion instruments and conditions often led to infections in the pre-Roe vs. Wade era; during that time, studies suggest as many as 5,000 US women per year died from illegal abortions.
