You just can't make this stuff up. An embarrassment for Kentucky and the entire country.

Debt ceiling debate twist: Sen. Mitch McConnell filibusters himself - CSMonitor.com

Yes, another debt-ceiling debate is looming, and the Senate's attempt to deal with the issue Thursday involved complex legislative machinations that appeared to backfire on Mitch McConnell.

The Republican party has really painted itself in the corner. They have an identity crisis. The Boehners and McConnells of this world would serve their country well by joining the private sector.

They're electable in some house districts that are so conservative they'd elect Hitler over a dem if there was an R next to his name. But yeah pretty much. The tea baggers are what's slowing congress and the government to a complete shutdown. They want a shutdown. They are the problem. Well, the biggest problem.

Count me in as one of the Tea Party "Patriots"... who believes in a limited government, lower taxes, personal liberties and private property rights.
A Tea Party "Patriot"... who honors and respects the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
A Tea Party "Patriot"... who honors and respects the U.S. Constitution, the Bill of Rights AND The Ten Commandments.
But yeah... I'm the problem.

The good news is that the teabaggers are done. Many lost in the last election and this fiscal cliff travesty they are persuing will be the final nail in the coffin. People are tired of their insanity. Well most people. There will always be a few idiots. I call them the "Reform Party People". Remember the reform party?
