The Hill reports on some real change I can believe in: the rise of the Tea Party.Without Tea Party Republicans, Congress wouldn't be cutting any federal spending, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) said.Technorati tags:
"What I would say to our friends in the Tea Party movement — without them we wouldn't be having this discussion. We wouldn't be cutting anything," McConnell said Monday to Neil Cavuto on Fox News. "But for the last election, we wouldn't be having this discussion."
McConnell's comments come a few weeks after he unveiled his fallback debt-ceiling increase proposal that gave President Obama broad authority to raise the spending limit and simultaneously make it more difficult for Congress to stop him. McConnell's plan was met with criticism from Tea Party conservatives.
