I'm not happy about what's happening in D.C. , but if you're a Tea Party member you've got to be pretty excited, right?

I mean, isn't this exactly what the Tea Party REALLY wanted? Washington shut down. Smaller government and fewer services. Millionaire senators and congressmen refusing to get a paycheck so that they can suffer with the common man.

Doesn't it seem a little hypocritical if you claim to support the Tea Party candidates and then whine about how the shutdown is hurting you? So you're thinking that this is a great thing. Seriously, deep down, you're getting a huge thrill out of this, right?

You're not blaming it on Obama, he's the least effective president ever, right? What a wimp. YOU should be taking credit, and flying your Tea Party flag high! You've won the first real battle! You've brought the government down!

Thousand of government workers are not getting paid. Those wasteful federal parks and monuments are closed. Thousands of folks who are, or will be, on welfare will be begging in the streets, or applying to do your job for lower pay. Retired, veterans, and handicapped folks receiving federal assistance will just have to suffer a little more for the good of the country. Abolish public schools! Close the FDA! Proclaim your victory! America is only for the strong, privately-educated, and wealthy!

Remember to support your candidate in the upcoming election! A vote for the Tea Party is a vote for the continued austerity you all demanded!

Woo Hoo...
