I’m tired of Meckler claiming to speak for the Tea Party.

Of course, you can’t get a concise sound bites from millions of patriots, but Meckler only speaks for himself.

No individual or organization “owns” the TP movement. It’s a bona fide grass roots uprising. As it should be.

I don’t have any disagreement there- but you haven’t addressed the substance of his (or Bachmann’s) arguments.

I am tired of this shutdown government talk.

800,000 workers won’t be paid? What about the 1,000,000 or so civilian employees who do the jobs government employees won’t do?

Companies like CACI, CSC, Accenture, Cognizant to name a few who have personnel working all over the world for the military? The drivers, bodyguards, caterers. The Datacenter workers who keep some of the bases throughout the US and the rest of the world running? The local economies that support the workers?

It’s nice to be an armchair quarterback and say “shut it down.” There is a lot more to it than a class not being able to access a bathroom in Ft. Marcy Park on a Saturday.
