I considered that too BG and it's a completely possible out come. But the power (money) behind the tea party and the driving force within the GOP is really focused on shutting down the federal government until they get their way. A lot of the money men, Dick Army, the Koch brothers have basically stated that's the goal here. Eric Cantor has tweeted his glee at the prospects of doing it. Shut the government down until the socialist programs are cut to the bone or completely done away with. Now Obama, to my knowledge, hasn't been caught playing with any interns and I don't think he'll buckle like Clinton. The prospects of an economic up swing with the federal government shut down is Slim and none and Slim's left town. And wait until grandma and grandpa stop getting their SS checks and their Dr won't treat them because medicare payments have stopped. The key and the focus for each party will be to convince the masses it's the other side causing the problems. The GOP has a good shot at that with the fake Fox News doing their bidding. But in the end I think it will come down to "we elected these guys and it got worse not better."
That's one of the amazing parts of the tea party folks to me. The number of them on programs such as SS and medicare screaming about the need to end them is stunning. Just wait until they get their wish.
