COURAGE:Former House Majority Leader Dick Armey (R-Texas), now the chairman of Freedomworks, a major backer of the Tea Party movement, said on NBC's "Meet the Press" that the modern Republican Party's lack of courage is a "big reason" for widespread frustration with both Democrats and Republicans.And then, as if to prove it:
Minutes before Armey's remarks, "Meet the Press" host David Gregory pressed Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) on why Ryan's "Roadmap for America's Future" had such scant support among Republicans, and no support among Republican leaders. McConnell repeatedly dodged the question.
