You had one f-ing job.....

Uh, red team, wtf? You've allowed these tea party freaks drive to the car into a ditch. That's the plan? “We’re very excited,” said Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.). “It’s exactly what we wanted, and we got it.”
Well, yay for hurting people IRL?

Checks and balances, man. It's all about checks and balances. If a faction within a faction doesn't like what's going on, they're granted the power to stall all of it. FOR DEMOCRACY! Right?

They hope to deposit more checks from the Koch brothers to their own banking account balances.

[mahnmut]

Yep. And what'cha gunna do about that?

[sophia_sadek]

Please, please, no allusions to targeting.

But, but, extremism in the name of liberty, and all that! Dont'cha wanna loose free from the Moronarchy(TM)?

[sophia_sadek]

I'll leave extremism in the name of liberty to the bonehead brigade. The means bring about the ends. Extremism does not end in liberty.

So you too are a slave to the fair & balanced approach, ehh? Me too. We're so evil.

[sophia_sadek]

When I hear "fair and balanced," Faux News comes to mind.

[mahnmut]

Those guys have really hijacked the term, haven't they.

It is almost as sad as the loss of the symbol of eternal motion to the German national socialists.

I think there's a great unbalance when a faction within a faction decides to not do their most basic job, hold a gun to the economy of the entire world threatening to shoot, and somehow retain office afterwards.

hold a gun to the economy of the entire world

I was about to say, "those Americans and their obsession to call everything American, 'the World - something'"... But then I gave it a second thought and figured you may have a point. This will reflect on the world, even if indirectly.

It's not chest thumping, a blow to the United State's Economy will be felt by other countries as well, unfortunately the default isn't just our problem.

[sandwichwarrior]

Yup.

As I said to htpcl, this is not a bug, it's a feature.

[mahnmut]

So much the worse for everybody, then.
