Isn’t it ROFLMAO funny when people try to make an analogy when they don’t know the facts. Saruman created monsters and destroyed the forests.
No wonder a recent poll said Americans believe the press lies and are unethical.

>>> By the way, that crack political thinking of the Tea Party might have offered up a couple of clunker candidates, but it also produced a 63-seat swing in the House for Republicans
Taking credit for the entire election is indicative of what the WSJ is talking about. In non-presidential years the opposition normally picks up seats regardless. And in 2010 Obama made it an especially ripe year.
In some races like Pa and SC, the Tea Party unquestionably made the difference. In other races it’s not so clear.

Or The Lord of the Rings.

But what none of these critics have is an alternative strategy for achieving anything nearly as fiscally or politically beneficial as Mr. Boehners plan
Show me an itemization of the spending for each department, and I'll get back to you.

Boehner is out to destroy the TEA Party by promoting bills that cut nothing now & make fairytale cuts in the next 10 years.
May I remind Boehner, McCain, McConnell, & Co. who elected these conservative Congressmen: It was people who wanted the spending party in WDC ended, now, not in 10 mythical years.
If the TEA party Congressmen agree to this obvious sham, they are dead meat at the polls in Nov. 2012, & lap dogs of Boehner until then.

“The Hobbit” is the prelude to the “Lord of the Rings” FYI

Hobbits rule. They bring down Sauron.
I would consider the title “Tea Party Hobbit” a compliment, but once again - this is an elitist thing.
Elitists just don’t “get” the Hobbit thing.
To: Immerito
true. They left the Shire, but they never left Middle Earth (well - at the end of the trilogy they sail away with the elves, but I don’t think they’re talking about that part)

and the Silmarillion is set LONG before the Hobbit.
elves (the firstborn) came first.
(well, except for one dwarf...)
but whatever the subject, McCain doesn’t know what he’s talking about, and should resign in disgrace,
or officially change party.

If McCain, or Romney or Graham or any combination of these quit the Republican Party and joined the Democrats, both parties would be improved. How cool is that?
