    Now, when people stand for something and don’t want to compromise, they are the problem. ?When people are willing to give up all their principles, they are embraced by the press. ?The first interesting thing is that the left never has to compromise. ?The second interesting thing is that we got to this problem due to over spending a bloated government, yet the solution from Washington involves more spending and even larger government. ?Anyone know what it’s called when you do the same thing over and over and expect a different result? ?The TEA party reps shouldn’t back down. ?They should stand strong and let the chips fall where they may. ?It’s not their fault that the leftists (on both parties) have spend us to the edge of destruction. ?The solution is to turn back not drive faster. ?If the country is to fail, it won’t be because of men of principles fighting for the Constitution. ?It will fall because of the men fighting to ignore the Constitution. ?It’s that simple.

      Yes, we have to admire Tea Party Reps like Joe Walsh who pounded his chest and said
      “I won’t place one more dollar of debt on the backs of my kids”
      (Oh, wait..he owes $117,500 in back child support.)

      And the late Ted Kennedy, the “lion of the senate”, left a woman to die in a submerged Olds Delmont and Robert Byrd was? a Grand Kleagle of the KKK., etc., etc.
      ?
      What is your point?

    Hannity should drop the football and get some boxing gloves. This stuff gets ratings.

    Hugh was rude. I’d have slapped him, too. Then I’d have slapped Pat. Then Hannity. The other guest was very lady like so she’d have gotten off with just a glower.

    As I said before and TomL can send you the link. “Let’s get ready to Rumble”!

    OK yes as you folks have seen this mess coming for years. I guess Congress was hoping it wouls go away before. I don’t think so – never does. And with the ecomonic policies in place will be a nightmare to get even close. Maybe ( for sure) members of our elected members in goverment *watch those who were not also*. Well as has been mentioned, place the USA as the largest 3rd world country in the world because the economics policies are not helping at all.
    I came across this on Fox news yesterday. Yes?I emailed the link out or showed people. Now?MAYBE the understand the word billion is yesterday. And trillion most really can not comprehend. That 10 followed by 14 zeros. Congress reminds me of a logic gate- today mostly used in electronics -?Bare with me. A positive or negetive from the voters produce just the opposite effect. However this good or bad – if all negetive in to get negetive out – the gate is broken.
    Read the Fox item?please, then go to the bottom to compare what this really means.

    These 2 are a great example of how Washington is run. They have nailed it, a perfect example.

      ?They are why I don’t watch TV.
