What's the approval rate for congress as a whole, Mr. Smartypants?The alleged "sane middle adults" got us into this mess. So, stick your paternalistic condescending consensus and compromise where the sun don't shine.
Big problems call for bold solutions, not any of your weak, middling, status quo pablum.
How are those "bold solutions" working out for you with a all time low of 13% approval for the GOP?
In any case, the CR with the sequester in force was a better deal than the Ryan-Murry sellout. Timid as they were, at least we got some small measure of spending restraint.l
The approval ratings don't take into account why the person being polled disapproves. You really can't be so dense as to recognize that, can you?What's the approval rate for congress as a whole, Mr. Smartypants?How are those "bold solutions" working out for you with a all time low of 13% approval for the GOP?

How much of that congressional approval rating belongs to the failed "bold solutions" that the Tea Party tried to unconstitutionally ram down the nation's throat?

No bold solutions were implemented, so any claim that they failed is specious on its face.
And what is your evidence that what Tea Party members did was unconstitutional?
Arguing crappy democrat approval over crappy republican approval is like who is the winner of the Loser Olympics.The approval ratings don't take into account why the person being polled disapproves.

Your "bold solutions" were to shut down the government and to refuse to raise the debt ceiling. The shutdown cost american taxpayers $24 billion and did not achieve your goal since the government was reopened 16 days later. The unconstitutional part was to refuse to raise the debt ceiling thereby violating the full faith and credit of the US government. That was avoided by the ADULTS coming up with a solution at the 11th hour to save the nation.
As far as approval ratings go it is simple enough to note that the Dems ratings are higher than the record lows for the GOP therefore the low congressional ratings must be being brought down the Tea Party's failed "bold solutions" that harmed the American taxpayers.
FYI I suggest that you refrain from the puerile slurs, they don't add anything of value to your position.

Only a paltry 14% of the government was shut down, you weak whiner.
The $24 billion that the shutdown "cost" America is economically illiterate spin.
There was never any threat of a default, as there was more than enough revenue coming in to cover expenses. The "full faith and credit" argument is more economically illiterate DNC/ media-industrial complex crap.
The pretense that your squishy, gutless position is "adult" projects a slur on its face, by the presupposition that all who don't agree are not. If you want to be considered any more than the typical haughty, paternalistic, know-it-all jackass, then maybe you need to clean out your own back yard first. You know, that added value thing.

True, and now that is settled We the People in the sane moderate middle would appreciate it if the children from both extremes went out to play so that the adults can be allowed to get back to the process of governing by consensus and compromise.

Ironic!

"governing by consensus and compromise" is what got us into this mess,
Wanna rethink your "sane moderate" comment?

Now, getting called on your haughty, paternalistic snobbery is ironic?
That's a hoot.
No, the problem is spending, period.True, and now that is settled We the People in the sane moderate middle would appreciate it if the children from both extremes went out to play so that the adults can be allowed to get back to the process of governing by consensus and compromise.

The current "mess" consists of too little income for the current level of spending.
There you go again, setting your view up as the only "sane" one in the room. Is it any wonder you get considered a condescending paternalistic ass?The sane and moderate consensus solution is to find a way to reduce spending and increase revenues.

The government is taking in well in excess of $2.5 trillion a year. There is no revenue problem.

I hope this will get the movement going and we can get the rino's out. Then replace them with real conservatives. That's when we can repair whats been done.
Query: WTF is a "real conservative" these days? Is it a loon like Bachman or a big business darling like Boehner? Seems to be the only kinds we have to choose from.
Yes, you are digging.No, the problem is spending, period.The current "mess" consists of too little income for the current level of spending.
