i just want to point out that the congressional tea partiers didn't actually commit any felonies. for example, they didn't hold anyone hostage. and i doubt that they are, overall, less sane than congresspeople as a whole. they didn't rob the economy of billions of dollars, and all those people trying to give you totals and stuff are completely full of shit. in fact, they merely availed themselves of the procedures there are. so, they lost, and if so democracy worked even on your account. so really, tone down the extreme rhetoric of vilification, will you? seriously, y'all have sounded hysterical for weeks.
