Cruz, Mike Lee, and $arah Palin were part of the crowd. I'd say arrest and jail them.

I admit to being tempted to go bicycling on the C&O Canal towpath. It too is a national park, but I don't know how they patrol a 185 mile long bike path. The weather kept me from pursuing my lawlessness. I drank beer instead.

Pretty small crowd for the big three of Tea Party Idiocy.

I love this sort of over the top false patriotism from Cruz...waving the flag while sabotaging the nation's economy. Will Americans connect him to devalued 401ks and higher interest rates in case of a debt limit breach?

I always get leery when someone tries to stuff an American flag down my throat like that...they are hiding something.

Sure, so long as you don't get caught.

That's the way I do things...I'm a sneaky bastard and I pretty much do as I please.

Of course, I've reached the age where what pleases me is to stay home and take a nap.

Here, here! Tear gas those miscreants first then zip tie 'em, then lock 'em up for disorderly conduct. If they come back? Have the mounted Park Police rout 'em with batons. Isn't that how it's done?

I would be happy to volunteer without pay if they would have me.

Although the last horse I burdened with my sorry ass, bit me and threw me head first in a ditch. Mean and vicious animals, all of 'em but I don't hold it against them.

Here we have video of the Repubs busting down fences, cheered on by Sarah Palin, Sen. Ted Cruz, and Sen. Mike Lee: http://www.washingtonpost.com/posttv...=auto_complete


Meanwhile, despite the LIE that there will be enough tax revenue, here's a good description with numbers of how destructive it will be if the debt ceiling isn't raised: http://www.washingtonpost.com/a4efd5...46b_story.html

The Republicans are the new Vandals.
