NBC News Chief White House Correspondent and MSNBC host Chuck Todd reported on Monday that tea party figures like Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) and former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin helped scuttle a potential deal to raise the debt ceiling over the weekend when they led World War II veterans to march on the White House. Todd reported that the tea party Republicans are doing everything they can to keep the shutdown and debt ceiling standoff alive.
While the non-tea party Republicans are desperately trying to end this standoff, the tea party Republicans are doing everything they can to keep it alive, Todd said on Monday.
He said that Cruz and Palin attended a rally with elderly veterans at the WWII Memorial over the weekend where they were actively fueling protesters who tore down barricades and carried them to the White House where they clashed with police.
Every time non-tea party Republicans want to complain about the treatment their getting from Democrats and the White House, they may only have these folks to blame, he continued.
Todd laughed after playing a clip of Cruz saying the Democrats in Congress should give up on the games that led to the shutdown and the debt ceiling standoff.
The solution to the standoff, at least according to establishment Republicans, has always been to point out that the spending victories of the last few years are victories for the GOP and that they should declare that and move on, Todd continued.
Its just one more example of how the tea party has been a net negative for the Republicans post-2010, he concluded. Gave them the enthusiasm to win the House, but whats it done since?

Chuck Todd the Shameless PR Rep cannot tell the truth;
and shows it with his increasingly shifty eyes ,
and sweating upper lip.

Who does Chuck Todd have to blame for being so stupid and silly? You could blame the President. He crossed his legs and now Chuck suffers from Brain damage due to lack of oxygen.

Kind of hard to do anything politically when you have the Gestapo IRS (lead by Obama) holding up your tax exempt status and auditing you, sending in the ATF, FBI and OSHA, Todd, you A-Hole!

When the dems are unsuccessful vilifying conservatives as a group, they go after individuals (Palin, Cruz) and try to turn them into bogey men.

What the heck is F. Chuck on about?
Fed gov't Democrats have long treated the GOP with contempt and the GOP always rolled over for them.
When fearless Tea Party challengers get in the face of the Dem bullies they start to whine.
