Then *please* support those that are not in the same party as you when they take steps to do the right thing! I'm really tired of "my team is better than yours" politics!
There is great honor in supporting your opponent in this way!
Reality check time. The country is broke. The days of get a job for the government because it is a job for life are over, one way or another. We in the Tea Party want to do the cutting while we still have choices, you apparently want to keep your gravy train rolling until it goes over the cliff.
To close the budget gap we have now means everything gets cut some, some gets cut all the way out. Raising taxes is simply madness in this environment, especially since the problem is too much spending, not too low taxes. Taxes as percentage of GDP are plenty high already, it is spending as percentage of GDP that is way beyond WWII levels. It is very doubtful that any tax increase in this environment would actually increase net revenue to the government. So cutting spending is the only game in town since under Obama economic growth is improbable.
I respect your beliefs, but I wish to understand something. Most of the people I talk to in the Tea Party movement seem to be against all taxes and regulation. I've only come across a few who were moderate in this stance, and when I try to talk with them regarding the full outcome of eliminating all taxes and regulation, they give me very rude treatment.
What do you say to your fellow party members who've gone off the bend? They are the majority of what is off-putting for me about the Tea Party. I agree we need some fiscal discipline, but radical responses are not the answer, and I can't get past that in most of who I've talked to.
I use Facebook to determine the intelligence level of the person I'm dealing with.
If you have a Facebook account, you've already failed my job interview. You can't be trusted to make intelligent decisions with data, so you don't need to work at this organization.
So I ask for a Facebook login, but I never look, the only correct answer is 'i don't have one'

Ah, yes I remember this: What the Tortoise Said to Achilles. Or, more generally, the descent into logical madness...
Unfortunately the only way out of that sort of tangled mess is Nature's Solution: Pain. Just because you refuse to believe that walking off a cliff will cause you pain does not mean that the laws of physics agree.
Dude, I've seen a Soldier outsmarted by an aluminum door. Worst thing was that he even *admitted* his defeat to the door to our 1SG...
Now just buy a bunch of those link cables and code a few apps on those and you're good to go.
Hey, mine survived me being blown up three times. I can attest to the durability and usefulness of the Nintendo DS, especially as an Alarm Clock...
