Sadly....

The wingnuts of the Tea Party are just as insane as any "progressive" moonbat.

And America may pay the price.

If Standard and Poor's or Moody's downgrades our national AAA bond rating, the interest on our national debt will go up- and the end result of all the manuvering to blackmail the President into not finding what Congress has already voted to appropriate in order to force a reduction of the deficit would almost inevitably result in the deficit dramatically increasing.

If the Tea Party is looking for a mascot, the lemming would seem appropriate.
