The TEA BAGGING DOUBLE STANDARD!!!!
Fucking hypocrites!

Washington (CNN) – They’re hard-charging, compromise-damning members of Congress, and they’ve changed the debate in Washington over the size and spending of the government.

In recent days, Republican hard-liners in the debt ceiling talks have been vociferous in their rhetoric.

At a tea party rally, Sen. Mike Lee of Utah said his faction needs to push forward a balanced budget amendment and other measures “… in order to save our country from a Congress that for decades has been burying our children and our grandchildren, both born and unborn, under a mountain of debt.”

But according to recently released disclosure forms, Lee and others in his caucus have some significant personal debt of their own.

1. They're channeling McNamara.
"We had to destroy the village to save it."

As for a double standard...really, is ANYONE surprised?

3. Teathugs can lie about almost anything that they believe works as bait for their batshit-crazy base
and they will swallow it, hook, line and sinker.

4. Uh, only ONE decade in the last 20 years.
The one where repugs ruled everything. That's where this mountain of debt came from.
