I will no longer insult them by calling them "Tea Baggers" |
|
Since they wish to be referred to as the Tea Party, I will call them by their initials. And remember folks, too much TP will clog your toilet.

Love it. :thumbsup:
:rofl:
Personally, I don't think "tea baggers" is an insult. It implies they have a talent at *something*.

If they prefer Tea Party, then I'll make sure it's always TEABAGGERS. And if THEY wanna take it the wrong way, it's just THEIR dirty little minds, and THEIR problem.

5. Reminds me of the "Reform" party in Canada... |
|
(an ultra conservative right wing christian based party)changing it's name to the "Canadian Reform Alliance Party" a few years back. They never noticed it until the next day when the newspaper headlines read: "C.R.A.P PARTY HAS NEW NAME":rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: they quickly had a meeting and called it simply the Alliance Party...

|
They could promise to 'clean up' North America

15. Yeah, you're right there... |
|
And preach family values and fiscal integrity in order to get elected, then switch to being the bitch for big oil and wall street....They are cut from the same mold, only it didn't catch on there, and they split the right for ten years, allowing the "Liberals" (Democrats) to sit in power and wreak havoc unabated.

Nor have they ever been relevant.
I try to remind everyone, most of the problems we have had in 2009 were negotiating with members of our own party who had a lobbyist tie to a particular interest.
Tea Party people didn't put Max Baucus in charge of writing the HCR bill or Chris Dodd in charge of Financial Reform Regulations, Harry Reid did that. The Tea Party didn't water down the stimulus bill or destroy the Jobs bill. Democratic Senators did that.
Today, I may watch a former Republican, who has been more of a democrat in 2009 than half the caucus go down to a primary challenger, when the likes of Reid who overseas the circus move on to the General Election.

10. TP works but it's always good to remember that they were the first to call themselves tea baggers |
|
until they learned what that term meant.

I was trying to call them tea partyers to be respectful until they insulted me and my ethnicity by approving of those racist laws that Arizona is passing so I feel calling them tea baggers is appropriate. If they don't respect me. I won't respect them.

There was a thread here a week or two ago which made the argument that there's nothing wrong with "teabagging", so calling the TP folks this was actually insulting to real teabaggers.
They are now the TP people to me. Thanks very much; well done.
