I'd say forgive them for they know not what they're doing.
But they know exactly what they're doing. Nope! No forgiveness.

No it doesn't. It voted for a bill to repeal health insurance reform-- a bill that will never pass the Senate, and will never be signed by the president. The House didn't repeal anything, and it won't.

...dies in Senate. Party lacking in substantive policy ideas engages in political theatre, wasting taxpayer dollars in process. Fails the "adult conversation" test it itself sets.
Obama wins in 2012.

Shhhhh! Maybe if we get all outraged about this, the tea party's base will celebrate their victory and not notice the bill get shot down later.
It's not like they know what they're voting for, or against, anyway.
