Do ever get bruises on your forehead? So, you are stating that the absense of mention of the Tea Party in the article is in fact, proof that they made efforts to oppose the tax law change? Another logic fail. The simple truth is you threw in a personal agenda item and got called on it yet again for what I imagine has to be about the one hundreth time here on the MTF. And to be more accurate the NY GOP didn't have any real issues with the tax law change, merely the way the governer went about making it. A procedural complaint vs. a substance complaint. Much like the Dems did when Bush made 'Recess Appointments'
