It's not that the Tea Party "needs to be more radical." They're a blatantly nationalist, pro-warfare state, anti-immigrant affair with constitutionalist myopia, an unbelievably patchy view of American history, and open contempt for workers' self-organization.
And anyway, why give a cheer and a half (or any notice at all) for delaying, for the benefit of the Republican party, something that was nonetheless inevitably going to happen?
No one was seriously doubting that the debt ceiling was going to be raised. Nor was anyone seriously doubting that the Tea Party and the Republican Party were milking the whole thing for all the publicity they could get.
