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. \u00a0Here’s one quote from among many gems in a Politico piece, and Politico is hardly a friendly outlet these days. \u00a0When you’re right, you’re right! \u00a0This is the sort of rightness that will cut through the media distortion and go right to the heart of the American voter.<\/p>\n
\u201cOnly in this town can being right be wrong. It\u2019s the only place in the world where if you do the right thing you\u2019re wrong. Are you kidding me? \u2026 If you can\u2019t start doing what\u2019s right for the American people then why the hell did you come here?\u201d intoned Rep. Mike Kelly, a former University of Notre Dame football player from northwestern Pennsylvania<\/p>\n
