I simply don't believe that the Teabaggers have
disenfranchised Dems as a subgroup of any number among them. I keep hearing this claim that they are "grassroots" made up of
"people from both sides." If you embrace their bigotry or rabid trickle on economic policy positions, you were never a Dem to begin with.

1. It's a bullshit meme the corporate media is pushing.
"Look, it's for everybody! Everybody hates government, YOU CAN, TOO!" It's a total crock of shit. Remember who controls the media -- defense/insurance industry heavy-weights. They have everything to lose if the Dems hold onto power -- and everything to gain if the GOP gets back in.

5. Awe don't believe it. Teabaggers are republicans bought and paid for by
Freedoms works (Dick Armey head). The teabaggers were formed from the top to the bottom. True grass roots are bottom to top.

8. Where is the pushback on our part?
Why are we not standing up and DENOUNCING this stuff and saying that if you claim to be a Dem and affiliate yourself with this group, you weren't one from the start.

10. I wish we would
Maybe we are. Maybe we are doing just that, and our voices are getting drowned out by the Fox-worshipping media.
