Tea Party taken House, Senate: Reid
The Tea Party denied the House by rejecting a spending law called a CR or Continuing Resolution thus setting up a potential Debt Limit showdown, drama.
The Tea Party created and attached amendments to a Senate energy bill stopping the bill.
Reid laments and labels the Tea Party as anti govt anarchists declaring the Tea Party as controlling the House and as a presence in the Senate.
Political Event trigger?
Will the Tea Party actions shutdown the fed govt creating a Political Event trigger to end the bull stock market and begin the spiral down from the stagnant, gridlock and status quo ?

Reid: 'Anarchists have taken over' in Congress (Video)
09/12/13
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid on Thursday said “anarchists” have taken over Congress.
Reid (D-Nev.) said Tea Party Republicans are preventing progress on an energy efficiency bill by offering amendments on ObamaCare and other unrelated issues.
“We’re diverted totally from what this bill is about. Why? Because the anarchists have taken over,” Reid said on the Senate floor. “They’ve taken over the House and now they’ve taken over the Senate.
“People who don’t believe in government — and that’s what the Tea Party is all about — are winning, and that’s a shame.”
On Wednesday, Sen. David Vitter (R-La.) said he would prevent votes on lawmakers' amendments to the energy bill until he's assured he'll get a vote on his amendment, which would require some congressional and executive branch staff to enroll in the ObamaCare health exchanges.
“It’s defund ObamaCare, and I guess as the fiscal year comes to and end that’s what it’s all about,” Reid said.
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) also introduced an ObamaCare-related amendment that would delay the individual health insurance mandate for one year, and codify the Obama administration's one-year delay of requirements that employers provide insurance.
“Let’s delay ObamaCare mandates for families right now,” McConnell said. “Then let’s work together to repeal the bill.”
The Senate is working on S. 1392, the Energy Savings and Industrial Competitiveness Act. This bill is meant to improve the energy efficiency of buildings. Reid said he hoped he and McConnell could work out a deal to allow votes on germane amendments later in the day.
