tea party rule one: never agree to anything not proposed by a conservative.
tea party rule two: never accept the slightest responsibility for your actions.
tea party rule three: talk alot about responsibility in your markety market fantasy scenarios, hedged round with arbitrary declarations
e.g. ("the real issue is spending"---horseshit. to the extent there is an issue here, it follows from rightwing lunatic views of taxation and ill-considered tax cuts that have produced NONE of the outcomes promised by the gospel of crackpot economics but no matter they still believe they still believe...)
tea party rule four: obstruct. derail.
tea party rule five: never accept responsibility for your own actions.
tea party rule six: never accept responsibility for incoherence in your own positions.
tea party rule seven: talk anyway. blah blah blah. anyone can do it. seriously. **anyone** can do it.
tea party rule eight: refuse to consider what democracy actually would entail. that's ike putting a gun in your mouth to see if it's loaded. learn not to like democracy very much. prefer feudalism. be a slave.
tea party rule nine: never accept responsibility.
tea party rule ten: never accept responsibility.
