"New low for the Tea Party" - I thought this headline had a different reference

Especially since it was over a picture of Ted Carnival CRUZ. The outside headline was as cited; the inside one added "Support Falls". But I'll take it.

on a bandwagon when they scream invective that sound good to you. Eventually all but the most jaded/moronic figure out that there is no wizard behind the curtain.

All smoke and no fire. We hate the government but have absolutely nothing of substance to put in it's place.

Hear in Nevada we are seeing this play out this week. Have the Casino Governor and the TeaBillie Attorney General going at it. There again it is Federal Land(BLM) wanted by special interests,namely a certain Religious Cult and private developers represented by the AG,and on the other side the Governor being a realist knowing the State can not afford to take on the management and any costs related to protect these lands. With all of the TeaBillies rewrite of State Laws in the last session of Nevada's Legislature,the chickens have came to roost,and their policies are having a back to bite you in the ass moments. With all the little fee(tax)increases that are hitting and the fact that Sheldon Adelson and Steve Wynn and others in the Casino Business (1% ers Club),got a 800 million tax break,and our lame ass press afraid to go their,going to be interesting when 2016 and campaign season starts.
