They are not the enemy, just the awful terrible people that the group attracts... They kind of suck, the big one.

While I agree that our debt is out of control, I think the tea party proved one thing and one thing only with this latest debacle - holding the nation's (and the world's) economy hostage to try to instill change is a really bad idea. Hopefully they've learned a lesson.

So a minority was able to stop the country from passing a budget because they did not like what the majority wanted, and there the good guys?

No, the Tea Party are the enemies of freedom and liberty. They've proven that time and time again.

No, the Tea Party are truly the enemies of America. They flout their rhetoric in the face of the majority of Americans as if the rest of us are 'wrong'. Somehow, someway, we need to just shut up and let the Tea Party return us to what we were meant to be...or at least, what they think we were meant to be.
