Kick The Can

So, we're playing kick the can, down the road. The budget fight will only get more intense as we near the next looming deadline a few months from now. But better a delay than a default. No question the Tea Party has done itself damage. The question remains: How much? These guys won't go away. They figure they have nothing to lose. With big money backers like the Koch Brothers behind them, they'll only throw more dollars at their cause, to twist, misinform and fight harder. Even if it means reinventing themselves under a new brand of tea with a new name. Right wing schemers in the tradition of Karl Rove are no doubt thinking of such things right now.
