"Palin and West and Coulter all claimed it was a (quote) “Tea Party Victory.” Hmmm."

Not completely accurate. And I'm sure both West and Coulter will agree with Palin when she says it is only a "QUALIFIED" victory:

Palin Calls House Debt Vote a ---Qualified--- Victory for Tea Party

Sarah Palin said Monday’s House vote to lift the debt ceiling was a victory for the tea party, proving that conservative activists had shifted the conversation in Washington.

“We shall take this victory and make sure our politicians in office today are learning from this victory. It’s not a 100% pure genuine victory. We just handed the most liberal president, I believe, in U.S. history a $2.4 billion debt increase.”

Which, by the way, is almost exactly what Orin Hatch (no favorite of mine) said. But the gist around here is that it isn’t even a “qualified” victory.
