OK, I clicked, prolly got something on my computer I don’t want, in order to get the popup on the website to disappear and allow me to find out what the most mendacious liberal who pretends to be a conservative is selling.

I sum it up as, “All is well, little people, keep working and paying your taxes so we can keep draining the system”.

Krauthammer gets your attention by calling Obama stupid and lazy for saying “our politics is broke” yesterday, then proceeds to make his point, that the political system is not broken. But if you think about his qualifying statement at the beginning:

“Our political system is working well (I make no such claims for our economy), indeed, precisely as designed” you know the rest is garbage because our crony-capitalist system is now so entertwined with the political system, it is impossible to separate the two.

So, this chattering-class big-government parasite obviously thinks he can keep the worker bees on-task for a couple of more years, with tripe like this, if he can just convince us that we still have a limited government, low tax, free market, individual rights-based system and it is still working.

Problem is, the TEA Party ain’t buyin’ it.

I have to disagree with you. Krauthammer is right and the process is working. I'm not disappointed by the process but by establishment Republicans who regard big government as the prize and not the problem. It is because of the TEA party that the debate even took place because the process demands debate and deliberation. Did you really expect a total victory from one election? If the “process” were not in place, what would have prevented the Democrats from using the 2008 elections to impose a socialist government and economy more far reaching than they did? Should the process operate so quickly that every whim of the electorate is enacted the moment the party supporting that whim takes power? I don't think the TEA party is a whim and will eventually prevail.

So it takes longer to set things right than either you or I would want, but the fight will go on and it's whiners like Obama that are complaining that it will go on. Boehner and McConnel are as much a problem as Pelosi and Reid, and if anything, the process brought that clearly to everyone’s attention. It is the TEA party versus big government Republicans and Democrats. That’s perfectly clear now.
