he is right in a way.

we have lunatics demanding signing of this or that pledge, we have people who are only looking at the short term rather than the long term.

It can be frustrating. I have met some of the wackos of the fringes, left and right, and they have no mental capacity to see anything beyone what THEY want.

Boehner’s bill is a pig and does absolutely nothing substantive to our debt situation. It’s another kicked can.

West would’ve better served his constituency if he’d sat back with other TEA Partiers and said, “No mas.”

The Tea Party supported CCB and it was passed by the House. Is that so RADICAL!!

“we have people who are only looking at the short term rather than the long term.”

You mean like the long-term benefits (border fence, deportations of illegals) the Democrats promised if the Republicans voted for amnesty in 1986? Those kind of long term benefits?

You are forgetting one important thing: the 113th and 114th Congress will not be bound by the pledge of future spending cuts by the 112th Congress.

Wake up and smell the coffee.

The difference between the Tea Party and the other 2 established party’s is that when the media and the elites create a crisis and start making them a target they do not retreat first and fight second.

Amen. Too many people on our side want to play checkers...rather than play chess.

You can see it in this debate about the debt ceiling...even here on FR. Too many people are playing checkers. We need to be playing chess with the pieces we have on the board.

I think too many freepers believe they have a board full of queens and all the other guy has is pawns.
