Letter to the Editor: Bullied by tea party. M.K. Marlow, Broken Arrow. Finally, retribution for bad behavior: The U.S. House of Representatives, bullied by the tea party, has finally seen what can happen when you think yours is the only point of view. It took a credit rating agency to pull them up and slap them. Even after a downgrade in the rating of U.S. credit, the tea party and all of its lackeys in Congress are clueless. They will probably come back after their "deserved" vacation time, not admitting to anything having to do with their failures. I hope, and will help in any way I can, to throw them all out at the next election. This is not Democrat or Republican. This is integrity versus sleazy, "what's in it for me" behaviors. We taxpayers deserve more from people to whom we pay a pretty comfortable salary, plus major benefits. Unfortunately, it took an outside party, Standard & Poor's, to bring to our attention the ridiculousness of the behaviors of the people we actually voted for to be our representatives in Congress. Are they really speaking for the rest of us? I hope not. I am mad as heck. You should be, too. Letters to the editor are encouraged. Send letters to letters@tulsaworld.com..
