... The Tea Party Hasn't Spent One Taxpayer Dollar Looks like the new talking point is "the Tea Party downgrade." It started with John Kerry and David Axelrod ... and I guess the usual suspects will parrot the same nonsense. Nice try! Last I looked, the Tea Party has never spent a dime of taxpayer money. Last I looked, the Tea Party has not spent this country into a $16 trillion deficit. Last I looked, these average Americans are only interested in a better, more efficient, and taxpayer-concerned government. How terrible they are! It is disgusting to see these political hacks continue with their talking points. The good news is that it is backfiring on them. And by the way, John Kerry voted for all this deficit spending. I have still not seen the most important question asked of the culprits. And it is simple: "In the year 2000, federal spending was $1.788 trillion. Why are you and on what are you now spending double that amount this year -- just a decade later? Please be specific!" Wouldn't that be a simple question? ..... http://www.minyanville.com/businessmarkets/articles/us-credit-downgrade-deficit-spending-spending/8/8/2011/id/36203

What do you call Boehner, who could not even sell his plan to the freshman Teaper class. Is he strong you think. You would have some grounds to label Obama the way do only after looking at Boehner. The Republican party is a mess. There are all sorts of factions including the religious right pulling the party in different directions. And as if that was not enough, in comes Perry. What do you call such a party. Remember, they just sacked their African-American party chair.
