Who are the "Tea Party" activist that are keeping anything from getting done in Washington? How about the ones who are trying for the 41st time to get the Health Care Bill defunded? How about all these people who should be voted out so that we could get people into government that are a part of the solution and not part of the problem?
Who are they?

We fought how many three unfunded wars. We are paying for practically everyone in this country without health insurance to go to the emergency room for their health care. Health care that the WHO ranks as 37th in the world. We don't make ANYTHING in this country anymore. Clothes, electronics, autos and everything we gave away. The housing market where I live is so overpriced that it is ridiculous. We charge everything in this country, much more than any foreign country that I have been in. Runaway spending?
The republicans stated publicly when Obama was elected that they were going to block everything he did and that he was going to be a one term president and that is what they attempt to do with everything. How does Harry Reid change that thinking?

Runaway spending? What runaway spending. Your listening to too many Republicans. We're not spending on research for industry because we don't make ANYTHING. We're not spending it on infrastructure, as our bridges and roads are the worst. We're not spending it on education because our kids are not the smartest kids on the block. We're not spending it on mental health. We're not spending it on the poor. We're not spending it on medical as the World Health Organization rates the U.S. 37th in the world. We're not spending it on mass transit as our transit system does not compare to other countries. We're not spending it on environmental issues. So where is the runaway spending?

Yes John Boehner (R-OH House) and Mitch McConnell (R-KY Senate) lets look at the spending! Lets really look at it and see exactly where it is instead of a bunch of sound bites.

I see Obama is spending some money again on the Climate Action Plan! We probably don't want to spend anything on that do we?

NO ONE is "shutting down the government", though that's not a bad idea. A few politicians are finally finding the cajones to stand up to chairman Obama's unconstitutional government intrusion expansionism and, at least, slow down the full implementation of obama-no-care. They are simply asking that ALL taxpayers be given the same treatment that chairman obama has given unions and big business.
During this alleged "government shutdown" welfare parasites will still receive their UNDESERVED checks, government schools will still fail to educate, and Socialist Insecurity recipients will continue to receive their partial return on their forced "investment". Law enforcers will still work. The military will still work and get paid thanks to a law passed during the Reagan years. The only thing being "shut down" will be the unnecessary parts of the government that shouldn't exist in the first place.
By the way, you are aware, I hope, that chairman obama hasn't had a budget passed since he climbed to his lofty golf cart, right? With no way of knowing what spending is planned, the government shouldn't be paying for anything, including Congressional salaries, and shouldn't be collecting taxes (stealing incomes).

I don't see Harry Ried or Barrack Obama on your list anywhere. The House Republicans are trying to pass a bill that will keep the government open, but the Democrats are refusing to accept it. And remember: The People voted for the Republicans to have a majority with the agenda of voting to do away with Obamacare. So all the Republicans are doing is exactly what they were voted to office to do.

Tea Partiers and their supporters are Flag Spitting Pricks who simply hate The United States of America.
they are cowards, whiners, and slaves of FOX - the foreign owned Propaganda Network.
That's who.
