How We Might Prevail over An Uncompromising Congress Tea Party

Triadic Thinking Applied to The Present Top Image One
FIRST (A seeming continuation of the same impotence that creates a monotonous sense of stasis and ruination of our economy and polity) Middle Image Two
SECOND (The existence within Congress of a recalcitrant force whose object is to disable government regardless of consequences and its isolation as the force to be overcome)
Bottom Image Three
THIRD (Since there is a majority that does not desire the destructive outcome our effort must  be with open eyes to to note the truth of the above and flag its minority status and drive home the precedence of a winning majority over party politics)

Would voting NO Sock it To The Tea Party?

Yes.Then they would have to approve the raising of the debt ceiling or bear the blame.That is why Morning Joe and all the right wing is saying we have won pass the ceiling.But it is within the power of  House Democrats to control things now.Because everyone is saying the Right won in order to be nice to the Tea Party and make them behave.If the ceiling does not pass the President either fires back with a one page bill or with 14th Amendment workaround.It is too much to expect that the Tea Party will behave as the Right wishes them to do.

Now the GOP in the Senate is Joining The Wingnuts

Mitch McConnell is conducting a stonewall operation in the Senate to prevent an up or down vote on the Reid proposal.This is nothing less than complicity with the Tea Party and acceptance of the economic catastrophe which no one can accurately imagine until it hits us with all of its potential devastation.The GOP behavior in the Senate in the middle of the evening today is shameful and unpatrioticWhat to doUse every means of communication possible to insist that this behavior stop and that the GOP compromiseWe do not even have at this point the luxury of contemplating how vulnerable this makes the GOPIt is the country and the world that the GOP now appears to hold hostage

The Tea Party in Congress is a Subversive force and Dangerous to All Americans

It already has demobilized the Republican Party, reducing its leaders to liars, since they cannot acknowledge that all would be well if we simply went back to the taxes we had before Bush sold the country down the river. 
Now it is convincing the money people who supported them for their putch in 2010 that they supported damaged goods. 
We are at the point where no one believes the House will do anything to stop default. It is time for the President to talk to the nation and focus on the truth of these paragraphs  and instruct the Congress to pass what he and John Boehner agreed to, splitting the difference Boehner used as an excuse for quitting. 
There was no way Boehner could have moved the Tea Party know nothings. The only hope now is a bipartisan fight against the Tea Party. 
Now.

And we want to give the country over to Bush people?

U.S. likely to lose top rating: economists - Yahoo! News: "WASHINGTON/LONDON (Reuters) - The United States will lose its top-notch AAA credit rating from at least one major rating agency, according to a Reuters poll that also found wrangling over the debt ceiling has already damaged the economy."

You see George W. Bush lost our credit years ago by charging off everything to the future. And now his followers are wanting to rescue us from the depression Bush caused. This is beyond irony. It is either very funny or a prelude to a disaster we cannot even contemplate.

Apposite Obama Quote

Debt Ceiling: Obama, Boehner, Democrats & Republicans’ Dueling Plans - The Daily Beast: "As he laid out the consequences of failure, Obama also explained his preference for getting a deal with a “balanced approach” to cut the deficit using both spending cuts and tax increases. He also denounced the GOP’s threats to let the government default if a debt-reduction package deal includes any tax increases at all. “That is no way to run the greatest country on earth,” Obama said. “It is a dangerous game we’ve never played before, and we can’t afford to play it now.”"

The tail has been wagging the dog. In the next days the dog (that would be us) will wag back. By the end, the Tea Party spoiled brats, ignorant of or oblivious to, the reality we face, will have either been muzzled or cut off, to maintain the image. Or we will have given governance over to the tail and begun to suffer the consequences. It will come down to the actual vote and the names attached on both sides. If the worst case happens, the names on the majority side in the House will be cashiered in 2012.

Why three or four trillion the ignored fact

The ignored fact is that the rating agencies (Moody's, etc.) will accept nothing less. We won't pass muster with a puny deal and everyone knows it. Even the Teeps who will blow hard as the two parties provide them with a bit of cover and shake their heads.
