Why hostage taking is a terrible negotiating position.

When you take someone hostage, the idea is that you have a strong bargaining position to get your demands met. This is because the person or people you are making demands from have feelings for the hostage you take and do not want that hostage harmed. The drawback of that plan is that you can't kill or release your hostage because you eliminate your only bargaining chip.

This means you have to abuse the hostage to play on the sympathies of the people whom care for the hostage so you can get your demands met.

This is why the Tea Party strategy to take the American people hostage is insane. They can't make demands from a government that does not negotiate with hostage takers, they can't kill the hostage or they lose the very objectives they are trying to achieve and they can't let the hostage go to get what they want in later negotiations because then they can't say "Well do it our way or else!"

So they have to keep and torture the hostage until the government and the people it represents can't take any more. And so they are. They make sure the people they care about are safe, (The wealthy donors and military which votes about 85% conservative.) while torturing the hostages that they don't care about. (Small business owners,  low income families, single mothers, at risk children and the main liberal base of America.)

This is a strategy which they will continue until it explodes with a deficit breach. A plan the Republican party has already started to prepare their base for saying "it's not as bad as it sounds."

Well being thrown into a volcano isn't as bad as it sounds either. But it's still not something you want to happen to you.

But it's what the Tea Party wants to do to the American people. It's what the Tea Party wants to do to the United States government.
And it looks like that's exactly what it is going to happen.
