First, not a member. Second, exactly how will sequestration - which I assume is the portion of the act that you're referring to - result in a credit downgrade?

Santelli was nothing more or less than the Koch brothers' errand boy.

Please document your claim that Santelli is in the employ, or in some other way connected to, the Koch Bros?

Because if sequestration indeed occurs, it will again indicate the incapability of Congress to deal with the nation's financial affairs. This concern was the cause of the first credit downgrade, thanks to your Tea Party friends.

Couldn't have put it better. I think what these new age crypto Christian/Bircherites (strange bedfellows, indeed) really want is to f&ck up the economy so they can actually to enhance their power and force their far right agenda of a coin operated society on the much larger majority of the American people. Who, by the way, if they really knew what the teabaggers have in mind would be chasing these crazies right out of town. We really need to stock up on some Henry's and chicken feathers. The only rights left to the worker bees will be to take their orders and like it or go live in the weeds .
I really hope that the Republican party will wake the f*ck up and clean house because these fringists are doing great damage to their party, not to mention the rest of us.

What's this? Are you attempting to deny that the vast majority of Tea Party funding doesn't come from the Koch Bros.? Really?!? or are you doing what you do well, whell? Sidestepping again, eh?

No that certainly wasn't the main reason for the downgrade. The main reason that S&P downgraded the credit rating the first time was their concern that the deal last year to cut 2.1 Trillion in spending didn't go far enough. They were skeptical about the two sides able to cut additional spending. So, if sequestration does kick in, it will cut spending further. A further credit downgrade would then become less likely.

Regrettably, I'm not at liberty to reveal my sources.

Those are the facts whell. The Koch bros own this fake tea party lock, stock and barrel. Keep your head in the sand if you like.

Back on topic, there seems to be a concerted effort to negate the latest numbers from the BoL. Have the birther's finally found another distraction to amuse themselves with? Romney is claiming the real unemployed is 11% for which he was awarded two pinnochios from WaPo. These cracked pot screamers are getting more ludriculous every day..
