The Morning After

    How come nobody writes headlines about the paychecks Tea Party members must be cashing in this morning for refusing to tax corporate elites?  To hurl the nation through chaos like we’ve just witnessed must’ve cost somebody a pretty penny.  Somebody who can hand out millions and millions to crooked Washington stooges because he and his ilk have been manipulating government to loot billions and billions in "stock option" booty from their shareholders for decades now.

    There’s no other plausible explanation.

    We bet each of these 43 politicians raked in a bundle.  One of them even said he didn’t care whether he got reelected or not.  Of course not.  It doesn't even look like this was about politics.

    It was about the windfall.  Marauders amassing personal wealth by attacking in one fell swoop.  Whoever’s bankrolling this Tea Party calamari had to be giving them a single shot at a tidy sum. The gateway to personal fortune probably opened up and these thieves jumped through, selling the country down the river.

    Was it one big fat deposit in some offshore bank account or a hefty downpayment followed with promises of much, much more to come?  Both would’ve done the trick. 

   Where’s the media on this one, huh?

    Oh, yeah.  They’re owned by the likes of Rupert Murdoch.   All of them.

    Lock, stock, and barrel.
