..."Since the start of the Tea Party movement in the late winter and early spring of 2009, Democrats have been demonizing the movement in the most crude terms. Every time there is a public act of violence, the immediate response is to look for a Tea Party connection, which never is found.
It’s not surprising that in the past couple of weeks we have heard Democratic Party eliminationist rhetoric become even more shrill and hateful:
1. “Unhinged” Arsonists (Wasserman-Schultz)
2. Insane People Who “Have Lost their Minds” (Harry Reid)
3. “People with a Bomb Strapped to their Chest” (aka Terrorists)(Dan Pfeiffer)
4. Blatant Extortionists (Jay Carney)

Archer,
You really need to read more objective news. John Boehner was against the shutdown. And he isn't a TEA Party member. The TEA Party is a minority of members of the House so if Obama and Reid did negotiate in good faith with the moderates of the House, the shutdown could be over quickly.
By failing to do this, the Dems are giving conservative Republicans much more power than they actually have.

PF,
Exactly my point, Obama & Reid should be able to buy plenty of RINO votes to get this taken care of. Instead they expect to gain politically. Caring less about goverment workers than winning votes in 2014.

Oh wait, those are republicans.
Exactly. establishment pubs and dems are peas in a pod. The tea party is the only ones for the people against the political class.
