'neither side have really tried' seems true enough to me, when this hits the fan there will be enough blame to go around for everyone, regardless of their political stripes. I do tend to think that the Tea Party has overplayed their hand, and in the aftermath of the fiscal cliff debacle will recede in influence. But not before this damage is done. I worry about the unforeseen economic & political consequences more than the ones that are predicted. But the Speaker can't lead a GOP that is fractured into a hyper-conservative wing and a moderate core. Eventually a movement like this splits off from it's parent group and tries to stand on its own. I can't imagine how much longer the two parties can function as one, the Tea Party is as Puritan and condemning of dissent as Cotton Mather. That's not a political party, it's more like a political cult.

Bringing the governing process to a halt wasn't what the Tea Party wanted, but they certainly seem to have accomplished it. Now we all may have time & opportunity to reflect on how useful their rhetoric was. Too bad for us. Especially too bad for those of us who are vulnerable to another Recession.
