Tea Party extremism has me “worried”!: Tammy Baldwin talks to Salon

"I’m worried…We have another deadline looming: the October 17 deadline for needing to lift the debt ceiling…I fear that some of the Tea Party-inspired members of the House want to wait until that deadline comes to exact greater leverage for their political agenda."

"....I think when we see Tea Party members of the House willing to close, to shutter the government, and Tea Party members of the House who have articulated that they would allow the government to default on its debts, that you have a level of extremism that is unparalleled by any other faction in either house."

Perhaps, but not enough that she would sit down at a table with any and discuss the issues.

That airhead (Baldwin) happens to be one of my senators (Which I did not vote for). I hope she gets real worried and for a long time. She was elected by the Madison “underground”.

She has never set foot in a beauty salon but she does spend a lot of time at the carpet warehouse.

Of course extreme Marxists don’t worry her in the least.

Pray America is Waking Up

"I’m worried…We have another deadline looming: the October 17 deadline for needing to lift the debt ceiling…I fear that some of the Tea Party-inspired members of the House want to wait until that deadline comes to exact greater leverage for their political agenda."

Let us recast this:

"I’m worried… We have another deadline looming: My paycheck can't cover the bills.I fear that the Bank may not again accept my 19% Credit Card this time and I will actually have to make my mortgage payment. I wish I could regret my vacations to Paris and Rio but they were damn fun so I don't know why the bank is foreclosing!"

Maybe she should be more worried about the people of this country turning on said government.

They shall rue the day.

I think when we see the President willing to close, to shutter the government, and Democrat Senators who have articulated that they would allow the government to default on its debts, that you have a level of extremism that is unparalleled by any other faction in either house.

Fixed it

Me thinks the liberals know they’re in trouble on this issue. Why else have they resorted to calling our side anarchists and extremists of the worst kind. The Democrats are a one trick pony and they have nothing of substance to stand on so expect the hate and venom to only increase.

Considering the fact that a good many democrats literally want us exterminated in a physical sense, shutting down the government seems pretty minor in comparison even though its the democrats fault.

The article says she is the first LGBT senator.

Lesbian, gay, bi-sexual AND transgender.

Gosh, she has been a busy little thing.

Tea Party “extremism”...LOL...Yes being against communism is now considered “extreme”. Not wanting to live under a totalitarian government is “extreme”. This is where we are at now ladies and gentlemen, surrounded by absolute brain dead ass clowns who feel those who do not bow and serve the government instead of the other way around LIKE IT IS SUPPOSE TO BE are “extremists”.

Being born into, and a native of the govt providing everything, it is terrifying when confronted with absolute freedom. You don’t work, you starve to death. You don’t take the effort to set up to protect your family, you can all be killed. No mommy to provide your safety net. Natives to govt love cradle to grave are horrified at pure freedom.

It’s about time congress did it’s job. The problem is ..they waited way too long. Extremism is definitely an issue as in Multi trillion dollar debt without end amen.

Waiting for zero to destroy the economy and government in general to impose unworkable restrictions to starting new businesses, and killing jobs so that you can’t work for a living was extremism at it’s finest! Who exactly IS at fault for that? Does fault even matter anymore?

The fact remains that our national budget does need an overhaul but it isn’t necessarily supporting government empowerment that needs to be kept.

They must think ‘we the people’ are extremely stupid

TEA Party members need to turn this consistent “extreme” description back on the extreme liberals like Barack Hussein Obama and say who is really extreme and why. They are letting themselves get stuck with that label because they never defend themselves against it.

The representatives in the House were ELECTED to be there. They are, for once, doing what the people that elected them WANT. The liberals simply cannot grasp that. There is a separation of powers for a REASON.
