Wherein I show that the Tea Party contentions about government spending are entirely accurate, and that it is they who are moderate while the libs are the radicals.

B-b-bu-bu-but I thought it was the Tea Party who was to blame? Isn't that what operatives of the Dem and Repubs have been telling us the last month or so?

Dhimmicrats and Paul-Bots annoy me. We need Conservatives with Balls of Steel---West or Bolton.

Hopefully West will be around for a long, long time. Maybe a Senate seat. When Boltons done saving the country it will be Wests time to shine!
Lets see how tonights debate goes...Perry's now in and Bolton feels he must run to protect Americas security and SAFETY ! Palin, who knows what the hold-up is there....I got my guess but not sure yet! Anyway ...3 big ones on the horizon.... There is STILL TIME !

Funny how your article looks at the raw revenue numbers instead of looking at revenue as a percentage of GDP, much less adjusting for inflation.

Funny how your other article doesn't mention Boehner's last-minute demand that Obama agree to kill the individual mandate.

You're a funny guy!

I'll disagree respectfully with Quin's usually excellent analysis of this problem in that these big spenders [aka DEMOCRATS] are DOMESTIC TERRORISTS in MHO. Additionally and of course the tea partiers are not the monsters as portrayed by Democrats for subversive political purposes simply because they in no way, shape or form resemble said Democrats. They do not riot in the streets, occupy state capitol buildings, burn/loot/destroy property [as is currently being done in England or previously in this country by unionist-thugs, college malcontents and governmental benefits demanding racial/sexual groups]. The tea partiers are simply average, hard-working, patriotic, church going Americans who are fed up with the governmental spending policies of Democrats [aka domestic terrorists] that has been mushroomed over the last 50 years plus. Their respectful protests are mislabeled by Democrats in order to political smear and to disenfranchise the tea partiers into submission only. Just like the lies/provarications told 24-7 by our president for political manipulative purposes, his fellow Democrats use their propaganda ways in order to attempt to brainwash the general public into believing the lies of the left. Its simply all BULLEXCREMENT and most everyone is not aware of same!!!!!!!!
