The "constitutional struggle" will never be over. The Tea Party has to recognize the Republican representative who is straying from constitutional conservatism, identify him and get him "on message" or defeat him in the next primary as was accomplished this past primary season with much success.
This approach needs much more time before the idea of splintering off and forming a new party is considered. A third party puts the liberal radicals in position of power for an intolerably long time as the Republican Party and the third party split voting.

I agree with everything you said.. but.. the core problem is that the Republican leaders are not true conservatives. They are already negotiating a deal with the democrats that will go against what the tea party stands for.
They are saying they will pay for an unemployment benefits extension with "stimulus" money and therefore it will be PAID FOR. That is the same crap they have been pulling for years. The stimulus money is unspent borrowed money and should be paid back immediately. To be paid for the UE benefits extension must come from current spending.. and this is the first test that the Republicans will fail. They will vote for an extension of the debt limit with no reductions in gov spending. They are frauds.
As I started this thread, it will take 140 years to pay off the debt AFTER THE budget is balanced. WHEN will it get balanced?
Never when the Repubs want to spend ridiculous amounts on defense and all of their goodies.
Every American owes $45,000 towards the 14 trillion dollar debt. That is 90k for me and my wife combined, and if you count my kids thats 180k. Since only half of americans pay taxes that means I will have to pay 360k to pay off the debt. WHEN will Americans wake up. This is serious stuff, it is not going away, and the so called experts who say the debt is not a problem are full of it. Now we are spending over 200 billion a year just to pay the interest on the national debt. When interests rates go back to 8 to 10%, and THEY WILL.. the gov will not be able to pay the interest on the debt so they will have to monetize it. That will cause our creditors to adopt their own international currency, and our savings and our nation will be gone.
Gee......... I wonder of the Progressives knew that all along.
STOP the debt now to save the nation. It is as simple as that.
