re: #150 palomino

Even the tp realizes we have to cut defense. This isn’t some liberal plot to turn us into peacenik fairies.

Where are the GOP ideas for cutting spending beyond home heating for the poor and other such luxuries? They’ve targeted only discretionary domestic, a whopping 12% of the budget, for a few relatively minor cuts.

Yeah, well on that issue the TP and I part company. And I should note they part company with the GOP leadership on that as well. Fundamentally, I expect that Tea Party activists will concede on defense spending remaining at needed levels in the interests of party unity.
