    a 30s clip of a quote from an interview that is probably vastly longer than that is cherry-picked. sorry you aren't sensible enough to acknowledge that, having not watched the full interview yourself. you're failing to back up your claims and taking the rantings of a right-wing media-conspiracy blog as gospel.

    cnn clearly did report on the poll btw. they reported that the majority of answers to the questions did not support the republican stance. tom graves does what any politician would and latch onto one aspect of the poll. he goes on ignoring the other polled questions and answers because it's not favourable. what did you expect cnn to say? "congrats mr graves the poll suggests the republicans aren't gaining favour on the majority of the questions asked, but this one question vindicates you all along!" don't be daft.

    Yet my point wasn't that CNN was willing to acknowledge all the poll questions, my point was that they have ignored that specific one. As the argument was that CNN fixed, changed, messed with that question to get the desired results.

    Roy, just answer me this...

    Doesn't the plan that the Tea Party want require a new Constitutional Amendment?

    That's really realistic. As if that happened all the time.

    There isn't a "Tea Party" plan since CCB was voted down. There is the Bi Partisan plan by the speaker. But on CCB it did have a constitutional amendment for a balanced budget. Not that hard considering in the past 20 Senate Democrats have signaled publicly they want it, which gives the two thirds majority in the Senate. At which point it goes to the states, which seeing how many Republican Governors we have after the 2010 elections, and how popular the amendment is as the CNN poll points out, it is not that hard to get that as well.
