...

[blaming the downgrade of the U.S. credit rating on tea party Republicans...]
If it weren’t for them, we would have had a downgrade of AA or lower.
Blaming the Tea Party for the decades of out of control spending by the rats in Congress and in charge of our states is no different than out of control individuals blaming the credit reporting groups for their bad money management.
Blaming the Tea Party for their insane spending is the new mantra of the mediots and the insane liberals like Kerry, Axlerod, Pelosi, Reid and fill in the blanks _______ ______.
The children currently running our government are clueless.

WOW! Folks are waking up.
What is wrong with the GOP spokesperson? Why don’t they run out in front of the microphones to counter these claims?
Oh, Yeah, I forgot, the GOP hates the Tea Party also. Well, they better get over it! At least half the R’s are supporting Tea Party candidates.
I am sending 0 dollars to the GOP. Saving mine for Tea Party candidates who will stand up for their beliefs.
The Big Lie is a propaganda technique. The expression was coined by Adolf Hitler, when he dictated his 1925 book Mein Kampf, for a lie so “colossal” that no one would believe that someone “could have the impudence to distort the truth so infamously.” Hitler believed the technique was used by Jews to unfairly blame Germany’s loss in World War I on German Army officer Erich Ludendorff.
His primary rules were: never allow the public to cool off; never admit a fault or wrong; never concede that there may be some good in your enemy; never leave room for alternatives; never accept blame; concentrate on one enemy at a time and blame him for everything that goes wrong; people will believe a big lie sooner than a little one; and if you repeat it frequently enough people will sooner or later believe it.
Stalin and Hitler would be envious of the evil bastards we’re up against today.
Sure. The Tea Party. Not $1 trillion deficits as far as the eye can see. And my unicorn is purple.
I might catch some flack for this, but bring back Donald Trump.
Draft him.
He’s not a coward. He’ll say it. And people will listen.
If other Republicans don’t want Trump to get mixed up with things again, then they need to get out front.
Now. This is getting disgusting.
There is an assault on the working middle class(Tea Party) by the left, Democrats, rinos, and the Washingtion elite(including the likes of Bill O’Rielly and Laura Ingram). They demagogue a group of citizens that have had nothing to do with this financial disaster that is ruining this country. The Tea Party’s only ‘crime’ is offering concrete realistic solutions in getting the U.S. out of this crisis.
This is an all out war for our country. Help educate the public and recruit as many to our cause as possible.
Yeah, one of my facebook friends cried about this too, citing an article by some guy named Klein who says all the countries with AAA rating have universal healthcare.
Democrats have FINALLY run out of OTHER PEOPLE’S MONEY (OPM) to spend, and like a crack addict whose stash is taken away, they are screaming in blame and denial...
Like ANY addiction, this is going to take TOUGH LOVE to turn around.
This post was given to me in a different thread and needs to be read by those who blame the Tea Party for the S&P downgrade.
S&P’s John Chambers is IN FACT TELLING PEOPLE TO LISTEN TO THE CONCERNS OF THE TEA PARTY.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
From Para-Ord.45, yesterday comes this quote, which needs to be stated often!
-S&P exec John Chambers,
“But $4 trillion would be a good down payment. We thought that..if policy makers could deliver the goods on that, then that would be a strong sign on our political scores and eventually on our projections on the fiscal side.”
S&P has already said it may slash the Triple-A rating if a debt ceiling deal is not accompanied by what it deems is a credible plan to cut the $14.3 trillion federal [debt] by $4 trillion.
S&P’s Chambers is saying the ratings agency wants to see at least a $4 trillion deal, one that would come with bipartisan support.
There was only ever one plan that did what S&P said was required — $4 trillion in cuts with bipartisan support. That’d be Cut, Cap, and Balance — a plan that cut $4 trillion and got bipartisan support in the House of Representatives.
As Democrats tonight, and some Republicans, lash out and blame the Tea Party for causing the United States to lose its credit rating, it is worth pointing out that only the Tea Party offered up a plan to avoid what happened.-

My plan is to say we need to cut spending to Clinton era levels. Afterall, isn’t that what Rats have declared the age of prosperity before that evil Bush destroyed it all! Then we can compromise and say we’ll agree to just cutting spending to pre-Obama levels.
Things are tough for Zippy to bring out this POS Communist Clown,But the Republicans are not answering this BS!
The Tea Party doesn’t have a vote - and they can’t give money away to their supporters like dems do... Dems are so full of it their eyes are brown...
If it’s a New York Times poll, they probably polled 80% liberals and 20% Republicans. And the wording of the question was most likely leading in the extreme.
