Anyone who voted for a TP Congressman and followed the debt ceiling debate had their vote confirmed. Poll them, not adults or registered voters who didnt understand the TP issues in the first place.

what laughable asswipe that is. MSN didnt have a fucking thing to do with the ineptitude and intransigence of the 'republican' teabagging house.

The Tea Partiers are busy helping Occupy Wall Street. Its the same group. Its taxpayers wanting some justice, and only the corporate media tries to put a label separating the two groups. Its the same Americans.

Their issues overlap but they are far from the same Americans.

I didnt say they didnt hold some of the same values. I said Occupy is not promoting or supporting any political group. Many are coming out in support of OWS.. which I find extremely telling.
