Constitutional Idolatry? I take it you're not a believer...
But what I find ironic, is that Nutty singled out the Tea Party, when of the 7 Senators who voted against the bill, 2 are Tea Partiers: Rand Paul (KY), and Mike Lee (UT), and Tom Coburn is Tea Party friendly. Considering how few Tea Partiers are in the Senate, that is a much better percentage of opposition than any other caucus in the Senate. So don't blame this debacle on the Tea Party. When it comes to irony & hypocrisy, there is much more ammo to fling around in other directions.
I would have expected it to be across the board, no exceptions.
I, personally, applaud any and all who voted against this abortion of freedom.
When I said Constitutional Idolatry, it was to highlight the fervor that seems to be paramount concerning the Constitution by the TP, as if no one else could possibly (or does) honor it's greatness like they can, which I find insulting...AND...they invoke it so much, it starts becoming farcical...all the more so...when something like this even makes it (with it's current language) for a vote...let alone, not making it a unanimous "Fuck no!"
I fault them differently, because they raised the bar concerning their love of the Constitution. They platformed on it, they highlighted with deep passion their love and respect of it.
I fault them in the same vein as I would a staunch Family Values Rep., getting caught with a hooker, a mistress, having gay sex. It revels the obviously false blustering and commitment to the thing they wield as an ideal, as a "better than" you shield.
