To me, the important thing to keep in mind is that some people's expectations for their future retirement will have to be disappointed. Government obligations, including worker pensions, Social Security, and Medicare, are underfunded. Government may renege on its promises. If instead it tries to keep its promises, it will probably have to confiscate the wealth of those who are trying to provide for their own retirement. One of those unpleasant scenarios, or a combination of the two, is fairly certain to occur.
Right this is indeed so, .......why not let Michelle Bachman say this?
If the Tea party must chase off the anti abortion people it will be splitting itself to no purpose.
I just do not see how the tea party looses validity by being a wide tent and accepting people like Michelle Bachman!
Who is better? Who is there out there that has no opinion on Abortion?
Let's be clear here. I never said run Michelle Bachmann off. What i don't want is her ambitions to muddy the brand of the tea party. I want the tea party to focus on the house and the senate and the state legislatures and take back this country long term.
And the observation that fiscal Conservatives are mostly social conservatives means nothing to you?
There can't be a sheild around liberal funding to preserve "brand" in the tea party, if someone wants to hang a false label the way to fight it is not to agree with it.
The Tea party will hardly be in favor of big business subsidy will it?
But to follow your theroy we can't muddy the brand by offending upporters of sugar subsidy , oil subsidy or HUD subsidy by calling for reduction or elimination of the waste.
Honestly, Taxes and spending have to be cut somewhere, and everywhere taxes are spent someone likes it.
When someone makes the observation that MOST of the Tea Party has a conservative bent , your reaction is to ensure it isn't going to continue to be so?
Don't accept the split as a fact, untill you see that it really is, maybe it just isn't.
