(Someday I'll learn how to imbed, but not until I finish organizing my socks drawer.)
After attending three town consecutive meetings, Rep. Guinta's staff was kind enough to take a question from me. So I do give them and Representative Guinta credit for that.
But there is a lot lacking--to put it very mildly-- in Representative Guinta's answer.
But that's par for the course. He is truly masterful at framing his answers to fit the Tea-Party universe, and without follow up it is very hard to "get through."
Here's just one example of many:
Last night when talking about the national debt he said we had two choices. Cut Spending or Raise taxes. Then he asked for a show of hands poll of who wanted to raise their own taxes. I might add there were far more Tea Party folks than progressives.
But fifth grade math tells us that the only way to get out of the mess we are in is to do both. We have to cut spending and raise revenue. Even Allen Simpson agrees--its not like this is a secret in Washington. Oh well.
Back to this clip: I'll follow up with the state of the FEC investigation ( which IS still alive) and how an initial house Ethics Committee stamps its approval on new members. ( hint--it isn't very rigorous)
