[Night Hides Not]

I'm not going to flame you, though I disagree with you.

I see the Tea Party as the 101st Airborne Division during the Battle of the Bulge, and the Washingtonians are the Germans telling us to surrender.

Put me in the camp with the Tea Party Freshman that are saying "NUTS"!!!

I'm not blaming the tea party FOR the battle per say...I just think they are choosing the wrong battle field.

The battle field should be the 2012 budget...not something that has never...historically...been a battlefield.

If the leadership were going to choose THIS battlefield to die on, they should have done so with a good plan. Put forth ONE bill. ONE. Then say...I've shown you mine...now show me yours. According to the little cartoon...that's the way the process works. Then walk away.

So...either fight the battle at the 2012 budget or fight it the RIGHT way by walking away and IN UNISON.

the leadership should NEVER have offered up MULTIPLE plans without getting ONE counter proposal from BHO or Reid. STUPID.
