When did the Tea Party take over control of either house of Congress? How can they be to blame for that abortion since they don't have a majority of either house? Oh yes, it is the Dems who are accusing them of what they couldn't have done since they don't have enough seats in either house.
The Tea Party essentially runs the GOP today. The tea party caucus in the house caused John Boehner to capitulate on his own debt deal and give in to their radical demands. They have essentially hijacked the GOP and they are trying to hijack the rest of America. Reasonable Americans must stand up and prevent this by re-electing Obama next year. If for no other reason that is why I am voting for Obama again. I can't bare to see my country fall into the hands of the Teabaggers.
The President had a super-majority in Congress elected by a majority of Americans who voted to pass the Health Care Reform law. Nothing wrong with that. Sounds like democracy to me.
Ignoring the fact that we arent a Democracy, we are a Representative Republic.. Wouldnt the tea partiers getting people elected to office would ALSO be Democratcy..
I see, they are only terrorists when they dont support unsound fiscal policies.

You mean me posting FACTS that you are WRONG? I'm sorry but when you stop saying stupid things I'll stop correcting you.

And where is the budget and why havent they passed one?
The Health Care bill was very transparent and there was enough time allowed to debate it. Teabaggers are upset because they didn't get to hijack it like they did the debt ceiling debate.
See, that's just a complete and utter lie. Why would anyone want to have a conversation with you when you post such blatant lies?
At what point do you say we've borrowed too much and it's time to live within our means? And even if Obama's "proposal" had become law (the one that would have raised revenue by anywhere between $800B and $1.2T), we still would have deficits for as far as the eye can see.
It seems to me that the American taxpayer is the one who is being held hostage and forced to pay ransom, all under the guise of "fairness" while continuing to fund a bloated federal govt.
When those deficits were created by every policy you've been championing for 35+yrs, you cannot credibly stand here complaining about how a crisis YOU cheered along from day one is being managed. Tea are elderly juvenile deliquents pointing a bony finger of denial from themselves. They're the ones who demanded a nanny state every which way all along, then turn around complaining their nanny state costs too much. Textbook cognitive dissonance.

That means you need to cut $1.1 trillion a year to get your fiscal ass in order.
#1 reagan worshippers are welcome to jump in the hole with him and leave the rest of us the hell out of your madness.
The Center on Budget and Policies Priorities revealed that the Bush tax cuts accounted for half of the deficits during his tenure, and if made permanent, would add more to the national debt than Iraq, Afghanistan, the stimulus and TARP - combined. For its part, the CBO put a nearly $4 trillion price tag on the loss to the U.S. Treasury resulting from making the Bush tax cuts permanent.
CEO of Berkshire Hathaway urged politicians in Washington to raise taxes on the "mega-rich" who have been "coddled long enough by a billionaire-friendly Congress."
Coincidence? The rest of the globe sees it but Tea parading around with their drawers hanging out ankle biting- oblivious? No. They really do want America to fail.
There is a difference between a lie and a fact that goes against your opinion. Are you aware of that?
I'm well aware that there's a difference but that has nothing to do with you posting bold face lies. Even Obama supporters complained about how un-transparent the health care debate was... and it never really was a debate.

Facts are not very popular with the teabag community. Trying to have a rational debate with a teabagger based on facts is like throwing pearls to swine.
They call the President every name in the book but then bristle when their actions and behavior are been compared to terrorists. The Merriam-Webster online dictionary defines terrorism as:

At what point will you realize how hypocritical you're being in this thread? You claim that the Tea Party called the President names and that makes us Terrorists then you call Tea Party members derogatory terms over and over again while trying to make your own point...
Stop being a hypocrite, if you actually want to talk about this stop attacking people by trying to call them stupid names and make your points.

You had the chance to air your sentiments at the town halls which you did. You failed to hijack the debate and the bill was passed. Count your losses and move on.

The exact same thing can be said for the debt ceiling debate so count your losses and move on.
