Noble sentiment but the harsh reality is that the 70 or so members of the Tea Party in the House cannot enact or repeal any law by themselves. By doing absolutely nothing, Obama and Reid achieve their ultimate goal: higher rates on all persons paying taxes and substantial defense spending cuts. The GOP lost when they failed to win the Presidency and Senate last month. The Tea Party conservatives should go down swinging for their principles, but they will surely go down. Pray for our nation.

This is the crux of the problem...they thought they would win the White House back in 2011 when the Republican leadership :::sigh:::: made the stupid sequester deal in the first place. And these same R idiots are the jokers who pushed Romney out there as our choice.
Standing firm is fine...but then the sequester goes into effect...including increased taxes on everyone and very ugly cuts to defense.
