Tea Party burns its bridge (again)

This story is just the latest example of how the Tea Party wants Free Stuff without ever having to pay for it.

As the replacement for the Brent Spence Bridge lurks, transportation officials say this freeway span will need to charge tolls. Few are enchanted by this plan - but the Northern Kentucky Tea Party is (as usual) crying the loudest.

But tolls wouldn't be necessary if the Tea Party hadn't killed the American Jobs Act, which would have fully funded the bridge - without tolls. So whose fault is it that it needs a toll?

Teazilla waste comes to the fore yet again. This is just like how the Tea Party cajoled Campbell County Fiscal Court into rejecting funding for a new library. This decision forced the library to seek a tax hike - and the Tea Party had the gall to oppose that too.

Don't want tolls? Then revive the American Jobs Act. It's that simple.

Only a teagagger could think a bridge is free. The Tea Party is an onion of unworkable ideas: Peel one layer of kook talk away, and there's more underneath. The Tea Party has dysfunctional weirdoes piled atop each other in a swaying tower, all grumbling about how the world is so mean to them. In reality, however, they're spoiled whiners who have enjoyed a free ride their whole lives. At the same time, their policies lead to tax increases and tolls paid by folks who have already been paying to support them.

The Tea Party is just like a strand of Christmas lights: They all hang together, half of them don't work, and the ones that do aren't very bright.

The November election was a mandate for the opposition to reject Teazilla ideas. Since the teaburglars have already proven they're not wise enough to pay heed, it falls on us to make sure the will of the people reigns.
