Tea Party Lawmakers Are the Only Honest Brokers in Washington

From biggovernment.com

While President Obama, Senate Democrats and inside the beltway Republicans remain addicted to spending more money they do not have, a brave bloc of Congressional Members have stood up and said, “no”.

… 22 brave members of Congress bucked their party leadership and voted against Speaker Boehner’s debt ceiling bill. These lawmakers understand full well that they were elected to represent the American People and to reject the Washington D.C. wheeling and dealing that got us in this mess in the first place.

While the President and the band of Washington Insiders have tried to use fear mongering and scare tactics to silence all opposition to competing bad bills, it is nice to know that our House still does have 22 members, who have put the best interest of the nation over that of their party. These brave Men and Women should be viewed as heroes for standing against the tide of politics as usual in Washington D.C.

[What’s really sad to me is those tea party members who defected, forgetting that we have asked for principles, not politics, for the keeping of campaign promises at all costs. “Going along to get along” and “75%’ plans are exactly what has gotten us in this dismal mess. Only the courage of conviction is going to stop 100 years of bipartisan progressive entitlement slavery and ruin. – JS]
