Because It’s Not About Big Government Spending

A Sullivan reader:

If these Tea Party people were serious about fiscal sanity, they would boo Ryan on sight for his vote for Medicare D. They would boo Cantor on sight. They would boo Boehner on sight. They would run primary challenges against all these people, and not let them forget the sins they committed against their country.

But the Tea Party movement is not serious. It is an act of collective amnesia, for Republican voters to convince themselves that everything bad that’s going on is all Obama’s fault, and
everything was going great until he showed up and ruined us all.

It’s amnesia, yes. It’s also self-contradiction and thinly veiled racism.

    The teabaggers are not interested in this country, trhey are only out for themselves so you can add greed to that list as well. They have convinced themselves of convenient myths about American greatness and would rather live in a land of make-believe than in the real world around them.

    Did anybody catch Chris Matthews tonight?I usually have to turn away, but tonight they did a masterful thing and prepared a mash-up video of all the Republicans at today’s summit repeating, over-and-over, their focus-group tested talking points: “We need to start over.” “We need to go step-by-step.”, “We need to start with a clean sheet of paper.”,That video is proof-positive of how disingenuous these guys are, and if somebody out there is smart, they’ll track it down and make sure it goes viral.If you want to see it, go to this link and start watching about 55 seconds into it. Really, this video should go viral.
