Obama and the Democrats spent the U.S. into near-bankruptcy then just added another 7 trillion in debt. TEA party activists in congress tried to thwart this but failed. Some just caved, full of oh-so reasonable excuses. Now, the left is attempting to blame the TEA party for the S&P downgrade? How absurd! Obviously, their meme will be that the downgrade came because the debt ceiling deal didn't include more taxes and even more spending. TEA party Representatives and Senators must fight back on this gigantic lie from the left. I doubt many Americans will buy it, anyway, but it's transparent that the left is attempting to kill two birds with one stone. Shift the blame for the S&P credit rating downgrade from Obama and the Democrats to the TEA party (conservatives) - and demonize the TEA party as 'dangerous', etc. Same old smear tactics but the Republicans can't sit back and assume everyone knows this is fallacious. This despicable lie MUST be challenged, hard and often.

The TEA Party is significant, but it’s not all powerful, certainly not inside The Beltway. We need to elect a lot more of them to change things in a major way.
