The Daily Beast has a piece up today about the hard-core Tea Baggers in Congress gleeful celebrating how they nearly drove the country over the cliff with their debt ceiling hostage taking. It's a sobering piece and worth reading, if you haven't seen it already. They've set their sites on new targets, as the article states, including "blocking judges and federal appointees and even killing the gas tax."
So I thought they were about fiscal responsibility. How is blocking judicial appointments sound fiscal policy? Companies use federal courts, too. If they're clogged, it hurts business.
Gee, it sounds more like the Tea Baggers are intent on doing anything they can to obstruct President Obama in any way possible. (Like we didn't know that already.) Careful Tea Baggers, you're hypocritical slip is showing.
Hopefully, the public will continue to sour on the Tea Baggers. A poll released last week by the New York Times indicates their support has slipped. As the article states, "the Tea Party is now viewed unfavorably by 40 percent of the public and favorably by just 20 percent, according to the poll. In mid-April 29 percent of those polled viewed the movement unfavorably, while 26 percent viewed it favorably. And 43 percent of Americans now think the Tea Party has too much influence on the Republican Party, up from 27 percent in mid-April."
Let's hope the Tea Baggers continue on their path to self destruction, as opposed to their plans to destroy the country.
