(14,881 posts)They may want the country to go down in flames. My sister is a tea partier. I listened to her psycho rants for 2 years. She was acquaintances with a retired general from the tea party. They want to destroy the government. That is their goal. When they started pulling their shit last year, she was giggling like an idiot. She honestly doesn't understand how it will impact her, or maybe she doesn't care. She is the most hate-filled person I know. They want to see everything go up in flames. They honestly do.
If the moderates sign on, the tea partiers will hate the moderates and the fighting will continue through the budget process. But the country will avert catastrophe.
And with the tea party shit continuing, and Boehner and Cantor now tied to the tea party, during the 2014 election cycle, they will be creamed. They have already pissed off 70% of the country. Another year of this shit, and they will be drummed out of office.
The GOP may finally go back to being reasonable, and the blue-dogs and Reagan dems can go back to where they belong.
