It's hard to imagine why the 92% of America that doesn't identify with the Tea Party thinks you guys are nuts after reading a logical post with such solid evidence laid out in such an organized fashion. (rolls eyes) Your tinfoil will need replacing soon, I'm sure those communist mind control rays have almost penetrated the current layers on your head.

The guy has no post secondary degree/diploma of any kind. Not even a certificate for completing a 2 week welding class from a tech college. As a result he's not qualified to be an assistant manager at Wal-Mart. There is exactly 0 chance that this guy will be president.

Consider me schooled by your superior intellect. I wish I could find some good working girls that would take some cash for some fun, but I live in the only small city in an otherwise very rural area that's 70 miles or so from a much larger city. In other words way too many uptight religious nut sacks to be havin' any fun. Bet you're a real fun one. Sympathies to your husband as well.

"As a result, network viewership continues to drop every year." Right.......terrible analysis and an incorrect conclusion. The old networks continue to lose ground to cable shows and shows on the premium networks (HBO, Showtime, etc.). And some of those (that are gaining viewership) border on soft-core porn. Sorry to hear you're such a prude Rachel, my sympathies to your husband.

Uhhhhhhh........it might be worth noting that if you use a baseline that assumes the sequester takes effect (as one should since that's current law as written) then the plan passed by House Republicans would have added tens of billions of dollars to the deficit this year as well. There has been NO plan of any kind to replace the sequester that cuts even 20% as much spending as the sequester itself.

And yet the polls show Christie as the ONLY GOP candidate that even registers as competitive for 2016 (at least thus far, 2016 is still along way off). In other words the GOP can not only win WITHOUT the Tea Party, they MUST get rid of the tea party IN ORDER TO win.

Typical Tea Party type, overly simplified solution to an incredibly complex problem. Sure, it was Hoover alright. His whopping 9 months of governance caused everything to go from screaming great to a massive depression. Blinders on much? By the way, Harding was still alive (and the most corrupt President in history) in 1921.

Yep, that's a pretty decent message. Too bad nobody sees that but everyone sees the Op-ed that Boehner put out there agreeing that the sequester was bad, but we need to go ahead with it. Kinda just proving my point.

Yeah it was great alright. She just kinda forgets to mention that the whole Harding/Coolidge experiment ended in the Great Depression. There's a model we need to emulate.

Well, let's look at the GOP's messaging so far on this..... Yes, the sequester is bad and it will cause economic damage but it's the only way Washington might cut spending so we're going to go ahead and push for it, but it was Obama's idea. That's a losing message. End of story.
