That wasn't the issue.

How they went about it - taking advantage of a crisis in a manner that hurt us all - is the issue.

So actual terrorists, you know the ones who blow things up and kill people, can no longer be called terrorists by Obama and his admin. 9/11 was a "man-caused disaster."

Quote:
In my speech, although I did not use the word "terrorism," I referred to "man-caused" disasters. That is perhaps only a nuance, but it demonstrates that we want to move away from the politics of fear toward a policy of being prepared for all risks that can occur. Janet Napolitano
But the Tea Party tries to get the government to cut the deficit and work on getting out of debt, working correctly inside the political process, and it's okay to call them terrorist. Preferred actually, since the Vice President labeled them such.

No wonder this administration is so incompetent.
Kill 3,000+ people= Oops, you created a "man-caused disaster"
Elect people to stop the excess spending= "Terrorist!!!!"

I'm not a Tea Party person, but I'm still amazed at how low the administration has sunk with this. I would have a ton of respect for a Democratic leader that publicly announced that this was wrong and encouraged everyone to work together.

Biden called the TEA Party terrorists and this is the same administration that refuses to call real terrorists terrorsits. Remember that they were the ones to coin the phrase 'man-caused disasters'.

To any leftist / collectivist / pirate, anyone who threatens their revolution IS a terrorist ... to their agenda of slavery and theft-by-government.
When the socialist slaves figure it out, they may over react.
Counter revolutions are messy affairs.

As if the democrats & republicrats who created this crisis haven't cost our future generations their prosperity?

Geezuz people, get a grip on what congress has been doing for decades.

Enough is enough, and kicking the can down the road is only going to make it MUCH worse.

The problem was not created in the last six years nor will it be corrected in the next six. Yes we can make moves to start te repair process but holding the country hostage until the eleventh hour is not the way and those that watch our government and determine risk were very unnerved by the actions of the right. That will cost us all more money in the long run and solved nothing.

To even imply that the Tea Party members are Terrorsts is ludicrous, ridiculous and wholly idiotic. Anyone who does, is a fools fool.

So true. Even Congressmen from the left orientation, like Jon Carry, are saying just that.
