Er... hate to burst your bubble.
They're just going to bring it back up under the same loophole that the Democrats used to pass healthcare where they will just need a "regular" majority.
I got excited when I saw it too, until I realized that.

we will have to see. the republicans wanted it to be a 2/3s vote just to show that all their republicans support the measure. since that failed they might be sulking currently. while I hate the tea-party as all they are is neo-conservatives trying to paint a different light on the same thing, at least the support a smaller gov and less restrictions for the american people.
also, even if this passed, wouldn't it have to go to the senate? it wouldn't get past the senate at all I believe.

You can't be a neo-conservative if you support a smaller government and less restrictions.
As for the Senate... dunno. The democrats are split in the senate, some supporting Harry Reid, and others supporting Obama... and you've got to keep in mind, this shit kept getting extended under the democrats anwyay. With some of the worst parts of it "FIZA" being put into other bills and "protected".

idk, Bush was a neo-conservative and grew the government's power and size.
And true, but those will eventually be removed.. or expire.
|
Exactly. That's the defining characteristic of a Neo Conservative.
A Neo Conservative is a regular Conservative who is for an increase in government.
The Tea Party are more "Traditional Conservatives".
|
I wouldn't doubt that a lot of the politicians that are joining the tea party because of its strength are neo-conservatives. Palin really doesn't seem to be any bit of a traditional conservative.

Doesn't really matter when you've got local officials tallying your votes and ready and willing to kick you out the minute you deviate from what you promised.
