Hope I am not being too naive, but my respect for Hillary has gone up a
several notches after watching her handle the absolutely disgraceful
performance and inquisition by the Tea Party programmed House majority.

Those members of the GOP involved in this farce and those who support
them should be ashamed of themselves.

This is not normal.


For the GOP, it's perfectly normal.



Not the GOP I grew up knowing. The Tea Party movement changed it.


Yeah I know. Eisenhower actually reduced the size of government,
eliminated the deficit and paid down some of the debt.
Nobody has even come close since. We had a chance with Goldwater
(Hillary even thought so) but people chose the "peace" candidate who
got into a decade long war ... that we lost.
It went downhill steadily from there. The middle class never
recovered, deficits soared, the government bloated up and we have been
in never ending war for half a century.

The tea party sounded like they might be on to something but they
turned out to be bible thumping fanatics who lost their focus and
their credibility.

If I had to pick the time that congress and the media flipped, it was
Watergate. Politics became more about "gotcha" than accomplishing good
things for the country and the media is always looking for some kind
of scandal to exploit.
