THE TEA PARTY (“Toddler Party”) PLEDGE:
I am a Republican, that’s why, although I call myself a “Tea Party” member, I actually ran for office with an “(R)” beside my name.
I’m an (R) because “ma’ma” always told me that (R)’s are ‘fiscal conservatives’.
Yes America, I am too stupid to not understand that although (R)’s claim to be ‘fiscal conservatives’, Ronald Reagan was actually the first president to teach all other presidents after him that you can keep BIG GOVERNMENT, fool the American public that you’re for “smaller government”, and pay for all of the big government that you keep by borrowing. That’s why Reagan is the one President in U.S. history to have accumulated more debt than all the presidents before him, COMBINED!
But, of course, I’m a Toddler Party member…who doesn’t know things like that, so therefore, I run for office with an “(R)” beside my name, because my stupid “papi” told me that “(R)’s” are fiscal conservatives.
LOL!

How can lawmakers act so irresponsibly? Both parties are playing chicken hoping the other side will swerve to avoid the crash/default. But what if neither side swerves? Well, after the crash they will act, probably very fast. But the damage will be done, and it can never be undone.
These lawmakers see themselves as Americas political elite. In reality, however, they are a bunch of mentally challenged imbeciles.

The Tea Party only cares about the Constitution when it agrees with their narrow view. By refusing to raise the debt ceiling and holding the World economy hostage they have all violated the 14th Admenment. Let’s Sue them for violating their Pledge to Uphold the Constitution. I am sick and tired of their foolishness and for risking what little money I have to make my retirement comfortable.

As if nature had not dealt us enough calamities this year, we are now busy making one of our own — by bringing the world to near economic collapse. Defective as the present economic order might be, it still takes great effort to maintain it, as it is forever threatened by the chaos lurking a thin layer below.
As for our debt problems, they were long in the making and will not be solved overnight — no matter how good our intentions. Moreover, compromise will be needed to work them out, as is usually the case. Maybe folks who have an intense aversion to compromise should not be running our country.

Lydia, you might want to remember that most of those socalled tax loopholes are used by democrats and Jeff Immelt of GE just send jobs to china. Democrats only have one motto, my way or the highway, how can I get rich of you stupid people. Now Prince Reid has to kill every bill that might have a change of getting us out of the mess the democrats for the last 6 years have put us into with their spending habits.

House should defeat Senate bill in one hour after receiving from the Senate. Then maybe the Senate will will finally look at the first Debt Ceiling bill, Cut, Cap and Balance by amending it and working with the House on the Amendments. Harry Reid and the President caused this by doing the my way or the highway since the very beginning.

The key thing to realize here…firstly the GOP were the ones to repeal ‘pay as you go’, secondly, there are over 500 pieces of legislation some to close loopholes they refused to fund. They created this ‘drama’. And today on record in meetings several Republicans compared the tea party to terrorists who wanted to topple the US. They are getting ready to do what they always do, pass the blame…and the Dem’s aren’t buying it…so all this outrage from both sides are about to land in the Tea Party’s lap.
