Ted Cruz vs David Dewhurst for Senate

Liberal Compromise and Compromise are two different things. To liberals it will always be no.

Hell the House has been passing tons of things, Reid won't even let the Senators vote on them, talk about Party of NO and intolerance.
 
Let me try this another way. What has the Tea Party actually accomplished? And you cannot answer by saying the dems did this or did not do that, etc.
 
Im not really a TP fan but they have not had a chance to have an impact yet. Once they work their way into positions of power within the party we will be able to tell more.
 
Which was my point, Larry. I'm glad somebody sees it. Murphy thinks it's all or nothing, and it can't be. But we can get there eventually, and not via compromise on principles, but via the slow erosion of power away from the freakish leftists who have been ******* things up since the 60s. That's how they got their agenda accomplished, and that's how it will have to be dismantled. Slowly but surely.
 
In my view the Tea Party has accomplished getting candidates into office. They have however not been able to establish themselves as their own party which is what I think they need to do. They have also failed to accomplish much in Congress due to their inability to compromise. Voting no is not accomplishing much. Compromise is the party to progress and we need to get back to that.

We all know what the deal is, the only matter is the price.

Typical liberal, has to resort to name calling.

I'll tell you what the Tea Party has done, they have thrown out a number of career politico's that do nothing but continue the same thing over and over.

The Tea Party does not have a national following, it is a local grass roots organization that will do whatever it can to keep the government from continue doing the same thing over and over again. It will lose a large following if it becomes it's own party. The Tea Party is for local control, not national.

I thought most people on here had the same opinion that Washington is broke and that Dems and Reps were the problem and they keep doing the same things and saying the same things?

Well, the Tea Party is not for doing the same things the same broken way. You may not like the conservative view point but at least they are trying to do things differently. Insert your name calling here.

I would rather the country come to a stand still then to keep propagating this absurd spending like a drunken sailor.

In one election, the Tea Party has 10% of the House and what 3% of the Senate and many more members leaning that way. If you don't think the Tea Party is influencing the Republican party then you are in store for a lot of butt hurt come November.

What are liberals doing to change Washington, anything? Is that Off Wall Street movement getting anybody elected, are they still out there? Or was it just a bunch of 20 somethings partying together?
 
I was wrong on some of my numbers, about 20% of the House and 4% of the Senate are Tea Party members.

I anticipate this being over 33% of the House and almost 10% of the Senate after the 2012 elections.
 
One thing we know about the Tea Party at this point is that the Party is not over just yet. There is much work to be done and repealing that insane medical bill is job #1.
 
Roger35, how typical, how sad.What's the matter, poor baby? Did the Tea Party led Republican election not turn out the way you hoped? Did we, once again, fail to live up to your stereotype as a bunch of racists and violent rednecks? How do you square your view of Tea Party members with these election results?

After all, if we were a pack of racists we would have happily elected the rich old white guy Dewhurst instead of the son of Cuban immigrants.

If we were the violent crazy people of your fantasies we would have assassinated Cruz rather than seen him become our Senate candidate.

Perhaps you should go back to posting retarded accusations about the NRA. That thread worked out really well for you, didn't it? And the sad part is you made more sense on that one than you do here.

yes
repealing that piece of crap
AND starting work on reforming health care is a better way

NO BO supporters I don't know what that means yet but I am pretty sure it will not be a 2700 page bill that no one reads before they vote on it
 
I would actually be in favor of a some type of universal coverage for catastrophic care. Perhaps something that covers bills exceeding $20,000 per year. Then, encourage personal savings account or the like to help people to cover the area between 0 and 20K. Also, we need to encourage point of sale payments so that doctors offices can get paid without a lot of overhead. For the life of me I cannot understand why Obama is trying to phase out FSA's. Why is he so big on zero personal responsibility?

Exactly, saying no to Republicans as well.

Ted Cruz said much the same thing all through his campaing.
That we didn't get into this mess from Dems alone. He said over and over that both parties are responsibile

if you read any of the new Senatores, Rand Paul, Mike Lee Marco Rubio etc they each have the same outlook. This is NOT a party issue
the question is can both sides agree on how devestating the problem is and make some hard choices?
