so it is of no consequence what tea party obstructionists claim for themselves, the fatuous arguments that they make. those arguments "from principle" enable the republicans to have a fall guy in case the polls continue to trend as they have been and the gop takes the hit for manufacturing this debt ceiling "crisis" and then using it to play chicken with the international standing of the united states at a period of economic crisis transnationally and fading imperial power insofar as the u.s. is concerned. it is of no consequence except to maybe the 10% of the population who is still able to confuse ayn rand with a philosopher and friedman with a viable economic theorist and neo-liberalism with something other than class warfare. so let them gibber to themselves.

i am one of those people on the left, such as it is, this fragmented places that talks alot but can't seem to organize and not the make-believe left that the neo-fascist set projects in order to normalize it's veer to the right by framing it as reactive, i am one of those people who is deeply disappointed in obama primarily because he has not offered a vision of what the state can and should be doing independently of the bilge that flows from the right. if job creation is a real priority, make it one--construct programs with actual concrete goals and put them into effect....fuck the right. they've had their day and that day is over.
