The Tea Party terrorists refuse to allow any negotiating in the Senate

This weekend the talks between Democrats and Republicans came to s standstill in the House and was taken up by the Senate.

Talks were said by both sides to be going very well. The Democrats wanted to extend the debt ceiling to after the 2014 elections, the Republicans wanted to extend it only a few weeks so it can be used as a pressure point for extortion  ,uh, "negotiations" again soon. The Democrats wanted to extend the budget until March so the Government could reopen now and give us breathing room to have extensive talks on the multitude of topics the Republicans wanted to talk about regarding bringing the debt under control and the Republicans wanted to only fund the Government as long as some of their "wish list" demands are met before the Government was opened up again. A stipulation that the Democrats and the President said will not happen, but even so, the Democrats agreed to attach one of the Republicans demands to reopening the Government, a repeal of the 2.3% medical equipment tax, but in return they wanted the Sequestration to have a deadline in January to give congress time to talk about changing it so that it does not remove a flat 5% of budgetary items across the board and give more manuverability for States to decide how the 5% cuts would go into effect. The Republicans then cried foul and said the Democrats are trying to humiliate their party by asking for something in return for a concession to reopen the government and extend the debt ceiling.

In other words, the Tea Party Terrorists have made their play. Just days before the Debt ceiling is set to be breached, the Tea Party brings in another headline they will ride until the government goes into default.

"The Democrats are asking for a tiny little bit of breathing room to negotiate! We can't have this! They are trying to destroy the American way!"

This is what the Tea Party wants. Not the "Serious discussion" Speaker Beohner said was all they wanted. They got that. They have had a solid week of serious discussion. Still they insist on keeping the Government closed until the Democrats agree in advance to all their demands before any negotiation on those issues can take place.

No. The Tea Party wants the government to collapse so the wealthy donors that back them can do what they want when they want with no regard for the safety of the rest of us. Their intent is to turn free citizens into impoverished slaves. And they are going to get their way if we do not vote the Tea Party Terrorists out of office forever..
