House Freshmen (sent by the Tea Party) are defying the GOP, the Democrats, the Senate, the White House and the media on this nonsensical payroll tax cut maneuver. Here’s one quote from among many gems in a Politico piece, and Politico is hardly a friendly outlet these days. When you’re right, you’re right! This is the sort of rightness that will cut through the media distortion and go right to the heart of the American voter.
“Only in this town can being right be wrong. It’s the only place in the world where if you do the right thing you’re wrong. Are you kidding me? … If you can’t start doing what’s right for the American people then why the hell did you come here?” intoned Rep. Mike Kelly, a former University of Notre Dame football player from northwestern Pennsylvania
