» Elder: Democrat ‘Budget Plan’ – Attack the Tea Party and Misquote Reagan Commentary
To hear Democrats tell it, two things cripple the chance for a budget deal: the dastardly tea party, and the GOP’s failure to understand that its beloved Ronald Reagan was actually militantly pro-tax.
Gag me.
The same we-won-the-election-and-elections-have-consequences lefties now cry out for “bipartisanship.” Those who cheered the bulldog way that ObamaCare became law now want the resurgent Republicans to “reach across the aisle,” “set aside partisan rancor” and “put the country first.”
“Watching the extraordinary polarization in Washington today,” said CNN host Fareed Zakaria, “many people have pointed the finger at the tea party. It’s ideologically extreme, refuses to compromise and cares more about purity than problem solving. I happen to agree with much of that critique. … Why has the tea party become so prominent? Why is it able to dominate Washington?”
Answer: President Barack Obama created the tea party.
