2. "How Harry Reid caused the debt-ceiling debacle"

" Here’s Reid on December 8, 2010":

"Reid also said that he would like to push off raising the debt ceiling until next year — when Republicans control the House, but that he has not discussed the matter yet with his caucus."

“Let the Republicans have some buy-in on the debt. They’re going to have a majority in the House,” said Reid. “I don’t think it should be when we have a heavily Democratic Senate, heavily Democratic House and a Democratic president.”

"This has to rank very highly in the annals of tactical own-goals. As Ezra explains":

"The election was over. Nancy Pelosi was still speaker of the House. Harry Reid still had 59 Democrats in the Senate. The Bush tax cuts were expiring. And Democrats had a perfectly popular and intuitive position: Extend the cuts for the middle class but, in a time of deficits and sacrifice, sunset the cuts for the rich."

"Republicans, of course, didn’t want to allow the Bush tax cuts for the rich to expire. They were, in fact, desperate to preserve them. Which meant Democrats had the leverage"

PART 2 brucetee_ Says "sen . reid doesn;t need to try and make the republicans look bad,they do a good job of that all by themselves.. " What happen brucetee, NO LINK...

"Obama Gallup’s into danger zone at 39 percent approval"

Tea is not running for President. barry is, is. No President has been elected President with such such low polls. Except Harry Truman. barry is no Harry S. Truman. Extend your BUSS TOUR barry. Show us your JOB PLAN in Sept. as you said. WHO NEEDS JOBS NOW ? Going to spend your $$$ 2 trillion +debt ceiling then. Give me a "A" rating. Or Give me a "B-" rating. That spells OBAMA...

4. "warren buffett" is FOR OBAMA. HE CAN DONATE TO IRS. Buffet has said his charity can spend money better than government

5. "kinda shoots a big hole in the repubs claim that higher rates will stifle economic growth"

How ??? Does not prove what he say is true. To the contrary, Facts Of Life proves me Right. Our situation now proves unfriendly government stops private investment. A requirement for low tax on rich to work. I've told you countless times brucetee...

Part 1_ The Big Bad Tea...

1. Have heard, why no TEA during Bush years. True, no TEA, we had Nancy Pelosi:

"When Pelosi became speaker in January 2007 she was emphatic that there would be no new deficit spending."

“After years of historic deficits, this 110th Congress will commit itself to a higher standard: Pay as you go, no new deficit spending,” she said in her inaugural address from the speaker’s podium. “Our new America will provide unlimited opportunity for future generations, not burden them with mountains of debt.”

"[...]When Pelosi was sworn in on Jan. 4, 2007, the national debt stood at $8,670,596,242,973.04. At the close of business on Jan. 4, 2011, her last full day in the speakership, it stood at 14,014,049,043,294.41–an increase of $5,343,452,800,321.37."

http://winteryknight.wordpress.com/2011/01/09/democrat-controlled-congress-added-5-34-trillion-to-national-debt/

Now TEA is called every dirty name in the book for following in Nancy Pelosi's high heel shoes, what she spoke "January 2007".

2. Hear recession Bush fault.

a. Pelosi:

"During her weekly press conference on April 15, a reporter asked Pelosi a seemingly innocuous question about taxes. Pelosi prefaced her response with a fairly standard litany: explaining the dire state of the U.S. economy inherited by President Obama and setting the blame at the foot of the Bush administration. But she also added this: “When [then-Senator Obama] accepted the nomination in Colorado, the [Bush] Administration had kept from the public the idea that, in a matter of weeks, the financial community would be in crisis, and we would need to pass the TARP legislation.”

Here's proof Bush warnings began Year Bush was elected:

b. "Video: Democrats insist “nothing wrong” at Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac in 2004"

http://hotair.com/archives/2008/09/29/video-democrats-insist-nothing-wrong-at-fannie-mae-freddie-mac-in-2004/

3. TEA about "social issues"

Democrats, with help of PORK, passed obamacare. Last needed Democrat votes, required no federal funding for abortion. obama so signed a Executive Order .

"Obama Signs Executive Order Reaffirming Laws on Federal Funding of Abortion

http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2010/03/24/obama-signs-executive-order-reaffirming-laws-federal-funding-abortion/#ixzz1W8anQuzR"

Bill Hedges of MO 12:27AM August 27, 2011

So tell me how TEA is ANY DIFFERENT than PELOSI'S OWN words ? EXCEPT, we want the cuts TO HAPPEN. There is good reason why TEA must win:

"Federal Budget 101 - Eye opening analysis! "

"The U.S. Congress sets a federal budget every year"_ (democrats did not Oct. 2010_ had control, NO NERVE) _"in the trillions of dollars. Few people know how much money that is so we created a breakdown of federal spending in simple terms. Let's put the 2011 federal budget into perspective":

"U.S. income: $2,170,000,000,000

Federal budget: $3,820,000,000,000

New debt: $ 1,650,000,000,000

National debt: $14,271,000,000,000

Recent budget cut: $ 38,500,000,000 (about 1 percent of the budget)"

"It helps to think about these numbers in terms that we can relate to. Let's remove eight zeros from these numbers and pretend this is the household budget for the fictitious Jones family."

"Total annual income for the Jones family: $21,700

Amount of money the Jones family spent: $38,200

Amount of new debt added to the credit card: $16,500

Outstanding balance on the credit card: $142,710

Amount cut from the budget: $385"

"So in effect last month Congress, or in this example the Jones family, sat down at the kitchen table and agreed to cut $385 from its annual budget. What family would cut $385 of spending in order to solve $16,500 in deficit spending?"

"It is a start, although hardly a solution."

I can dream this horrible REALITY will end. obama learned his Bill Clinton lesson (under Newt). Was Newt’s 2 years that had surplus and balanced budget. Newt’s slowing down government spending. Newt shoring up entitlements. Last civil rights bill was passed. LIBERALS NO HEAR THIS. NO SPEAK TEA.
