Not About Obamacare?

Rep. Marlin Stutzman (R-Ind) is a member of the “suicide caucus,” the 80 reps who pushed Speaker Boehner to make Obamacare the center of the budget shutdown debate.  So it was a bit of a surprise when he said,

“We’re not going to be disrespected,” conservative Rep. Marlin Stutzman, R-Ind., added. “We have to get something out of this. And I don’t know what that even is.

Not going to be disrespected?  I know that the Tea Party is only three years old but I didn’t think they would act like three year olds?  Then again, maybe I shouldn’t be surprised.
