    Default Tea Party Throws Down Gauntlet at Meeting with Congressional Repugs

    This is great news. Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide.

    Tea Party leaders from Virginia, Florida and Pennsylvania hotly demanded that the members of the caucus not settle for anything less than defunding the Obama health care law, even on a very short-term basis, attendees told the Huffington Post. They also scoffed at the new Republican target of $61 billion in budget cuts from the rest of this fiscal year, calling it insufficient. And they made it clear Republicans who don't stand firm will face primary opponents in 2012.

    "The look on the faces of the members was just unbelievable," said one attendee, who didn't want to be identified by name.

    Considering that the only no vote from the 87 Tea Party Freshmen on the Continuing Resolution came from Justin Amash, I'm curious if they will follow through on their ultimatum:

    TEAM AMERICA: "America, FUCK YEAH!"

    Yup, this is a great idea. Does he "caucus" with the other tea party members already?
