Tea Party Express Chair Amy Kremer on MSNBC.

Asked if the Tea Party has pushed Republicans too far; she says "these members are doing exactly what they were elected to do. This is not really about the government shutdown; this is about Obamacare, a bad law that has been shoved down our throats..."

Chris Jansing cut her off and said, "How was it shoved down your throats; it was passed...you lost."

Tea Bagger says "it was passed with a procedural trick, not through the normal process. The Supreme Court rewrote it as a tax...this is not a law that the American people want."

Delusional, stupid nutjob.

That she didn't care about politics until Obama took office?

I've heard anyone assert that the Supreme Court "rewrote it as a tax." Rewrote? WTF?

But then, the tea party has certainly distanced itself from any association with informed discourse, so . . .

And reality....I was told by one last week on FB I don't even know (friend of my friend) to "do some research as obviously I don't have a clue about what's going on in this country!"

I laugh but it's truly frightening.
