Make no mistake there is no difference between the Tea Party republicans and the republican party in general serving in the U.S. Congress. Their shutdown of the federal government has proven that beyond a doubt. The whole republican party has fell in line and has voted to not have a stand alone clean bill to extend the debt ceiling.
On September 30 MSNBC's The Last Word show had as their guest Mr. Bruce Bartlett, a former economic adviser in the administration of President George W. Bush. Mr. Bartlett correctly described the Tea Party as clowns who care nothing about what the halls of Congress really strand for. That took character and courage on his part to say that being a republican himself. But it is obvious Mr. Bartlett is one republican who puts the country before party, especially when that party is run by clowns.
The shutdown is an extension of the republican party's vow to do nothing to help President Obama move the country and its people forward from the second great republican depression. They vowed to make him a one term President and when that failed they adopted their current position. Their unAmerican ideology and the lack of respect for democracy tell the real story of their cowardly acts.
Louisiana's republican representatives in congress chose to be clowns also and voted with the republican block to shutdown the government. The republican party can not break away from precedent. They shut down the federal government twice before during the Clinton administration. Maybe the clowns could find their niche under the big tent.
