Often, as these Tea Party members do, people will elude to history to justify their position, but don't recognize the reality of what was really going on. <br /><br />I'll be around.

We need good healthy responsible political parties to balance one another. The Tea Party GOP are so short-sighted because in destroying their own party they are creating the circumstances necessary for the type of "liberal" politics they abhor.chauncey devegahttp://wearerespectablenegroes.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-57113078446695664.post-61041257957854837792013-10-01T16:45:25.539-05:002013-10-01T16:45:25.539-05:00Absolutely spot on, every word!

About that "undoing of American exceptionalism": I wonder what the clowns might be thinking, if they are thinking at all, about the "credibility" of the United States that so many of them were wailing about just a couple weeks ago.<br /><br />Two other bits of the many I have read today that are also quite good: Charles Pierce's of early today: http://www.esquire.com/blogs/politics/Shutdown_Blues and also, Rachel Maddow: http://video.msnbc.msn.com/rachel-maddow/53151808#53151808 she showed clips of Republican House members coming out of their caucus meeting the other day and they were GLEEFUL that they were going to shut the government down. Clowns indeed! What I don't understand is that there are a few longer-serving, saner Republicans around (not that I agree with their policy positions, but they are smarter than this) who are going along with it. My own house rep, Tom Latham, is one of them. He is in a new district that includes Des Moines and I can't imagine this is going to play well here. If a couple dozen of them would break ranks, this could all be over. Going along with the tea partiers is not going to help him here in 2014.OldPolarBearnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-57113078446695664.post-66087621155902417892013-10-01T16:31:55.226-05:002013-10-01T16:31:55.226-05:00I would like the media to start calling this out f...I would like the media to start calling this out for what it is, and as you wrote--"seditious and treasonous." These people are so deluded that they would rather see our country fail and people suffer. <br /><br />As I looked at television, watching mostly older, white men, I shook my head and rhetorically asked: My God, What kind of country do we live in?<br /><br />Enjoyed this post.

Honestly, I am a little intimidated by your posts. Sometimes I have to go to google a couple of times to find out what words mean but I felt every word of this post. It was definately a different take and spin on the shut down but I think it hit the nail directly on the head. Very nice.Shellbell123noreply@blogger.com
