It’s clear, if one look honestly at the actual conversation in-question, that Ravndal did not realize to what the other guy was alluding.  A rare few in the same situation would’ve.

Kidston said:  “Everybody’s out to balance the budget, create jobs — the tea party doesn’t have the corner on that.”

While a balanced budget is nice, what the Tea Party wants which is far more important is massively decreased spending.  For Kidston to characterize the Tea Party as merely a group trying to balance the budget is deceptive downplaying.  It’s possible to have a balanced budget in even a communist regime, but that’s FAR less important than the fact that it’s oppressing the populace.

Neither the Rs nor the Ds have ever significantly decreased spending on any of the legion unconstitutional programs in the state.
