(GR8 perspective from Erick Erickson) A note to you disenchanted tea party activists

Also consider how accepted it is now (not just this past month but remember this goes all the way back into the end of last year and plenty of times throughout spring and summer) to discuss the wonkish parts of budgets, our debt, baseline budgets, etc. I very distinctly remember Rush thanking the tea party early on...like maybe December 2010...he talked about how in the past he would have had station managers calling, bosses yanking him off a program etc. It has simply never been something considered worthwhile to the American masses even if it did happen to be something the host wanted to discuss and in some instances had the personal knowledge to speak well about it....I.E. UNTIL THE TEA PARTY IT WAS TABOO TO EVEN TALK ABOUT THINGS LIKE THE DEBT CEILING IN GREAT DETAIL.
