“...not be punished for doing so as they had no other alternative.”

BS!

Stop the liberal lies.

The alternative was clear.

Pass no bill authorizing an increase in spending above receipts (aka balanced budget). Failing that the Gov shuts down. Just like Reagan did in the 80’s and a Conservative Republican Congress did in the 90s.

Government shut down was the alternative.

I suspect those “TEA party leaders” were anything but.

“For Barack Obama’s first 18 months, and occasionally even today, he and his loyalists try to place the lion’s share of the blame for America’s problems with George W. Bush. There is little doubt that Bush erred seriously on several counts...Bush’s mistakes were clearly serious errors, but they pale in comparison with Obama’s failures since he took office.”

Well-put. That’s why we shouldn’t try to have a third President Bush as the nominee (Rick Perry).

Under our system, it’s not failure if the American people call it “success.”

You left out the children of Richard M. Nixon and William F. Buckley, Jr.

You may not see how tens of millions of uninformed Americans rally to this man. They are true believers in his brand of secularism.

“You left out the children of Richard M. Nixon and William F. Buckley, Jr.”

That’s why the “etc” - there were too many RINOs to list.
