My point in posting this is to give good evidence that the idea among the MEDIA that this agreement was a "win" for the tea partiers is BULLCRAP.
Hell, even I didn't think it was a win...but a disgusting "that'll do until we fire some more of you liberal bastards next year."
The Tea party ill get it’s chance to speak in Nov. 2012.
Save the Constitution and vote Palin in 2012.
Thank you for posting the Gallup poll proving the MSM, RINOs, and political tap dancers on both sides are trying to force a Big Lie down America's gullet. The grassroots, amorphous Tea Partiers know the truth.
What could go wrong? The stock market could crash??
Obama didn’t do anything to reach a “deal,” first of all. Even his own party didn’t let him in the room. And he never intended to abide by any agreement anybody reached, as he is rapidly prooving.
That said, I think probably 100% of Tea Partiers (whatever they may be) and even most old-line GOPers disapproved of the debt “deal.” However, some of them felt (such as Allen West) that it was the best that could be done and that the real battle lay elsewhere and it was time to move on and coordinate our forces for that. That’s NOT the same as “supporting” it.
It’s all about how you ask the question...
We now know that 22% of those who identify themselves as Tea Party supporters are Republicans.
Unfortunately the Tea Party lost this one. The only ‘victory’ to be taken from this is that we shed some light on this big government monstrosity. We had 75% of public backing and the Republicans turned on us. Anyone voting for this bill has to go in the next election. No excuses!
This Bonehead thing has been a disaster from the onset,Look at the CR he kissed The Zippys azz on that and curled up into a ball,
Have any of these guys EVER done business in the real world? with contracts and penalty clauses that could break you,I suppose NOT!
and West here ,The Pigford vote and then being against the defunding of Commie Care which brings us to this latest treachery by him on the Debt Ceiling!
