Why is nobody asking this? (Vanity_

Why is nobody asking the following question?

Since when is a loosely connected bunch of (in their words) white trailer trash, soccer moms, out of work people, idiots, etc., known as the Tea Party so much more powerful than the 600+ Dims, Repugs, and Osama in TPTB in Washington? How could they cause such a crisis over the brave thinking of the EXPERTS??? in Washington.? How could they override the thinking and knowledge of those wondrous beings sitting in Congress? How could they possibly have more influence then all the think tanks, the economists, the Fed, etc., etc.

And to think they destroyed trillions of assets without a riot or protest. And according to TPTB these individuals do not even know what stock and bonds are. MY KIND OF PEOPLE!!!

You realize I am talking about all the blame being put by everybody on the Tea Party for the financial disaster today.

didn’t Anne Coulter point out, similarly, that the left marginalized the Evangelical vote as fringe and far right. And then went and blamed their election losses on the enormous power of such a fringe, far right, non-mainstream voting block?

"But the Republicans are basically saying the same thing"

Oh I know many of them are. The Republicans haven't earned the moniker "the stupid party" for no reason. Make no mistake they have earned it.

to make their logic even confusing, is that they are also saying that S&P is at fault. That they have an agenda or erred.

So, if you follow their logic...the Tea Party people screamed so much on the debt ceiling, the folks at S&P got confused by all the drama, and downgraded the USA’s economy.

This is so much more logical than that we have $16 trillion in debt, and the folks in power have no intentions to slow down the printing of money which could weaken the dollar. \sarc

Exactly, nobody is actually buying that the tea party is to blame, even those who claim they are to blame don’t really believe it. Obama and the dems own this disaster and they know it.

. . . blaming the Tea Party for the downgrade is like an alcoholic blaming his wife, who just started to suggest he has a drinking problem, for his cirrhosis.

Good one.

Or like I told my bro-in-law today:

It's like waking up at night to find there's a pile of cr@p on the floor because someone shined a flashlight on it, and blaming the person with the flashlight.

I’d say not guilty after consuming the appropriate number of alcoholic beverages.

The same crowd brought down the UN’s global warming cabal.

Americans do this all the time to the powers that be. They are really angry about it. How are they to “progress” to a Marxist world government where they, the “smart people” can rule at whim, if these sub-human Americans keep getting in the way?

What empowers Americans is the constitution and our knowledge of how to operate in freedom, and that is why they have “progressed” to hating the constitution even to the point of risking treason in their total violation of it.

They are going for broke.

Excellent!

I also forgot to mention that she is totally eligible for a BJ Clinton post-POTUS pardon.

Dang’ol Tea Party Hobbits need to climb back in their holes, shave their feet, quit acting like concerned American citizens and learn to embrace the debt. It’s harshing my buzz.
