Tell me something about the "Tea Party"

[ThomWV]

Is there one district in the United States where a person can register to vote as a member of the "Tea" party?

If not how can anyone say that there actually is such a thing as a Tea Party member? How can anyone say their numbers are (chose 1) growing or declining? And if there is no Tea Party then why does anyone act like there is? Why aren't they called what they appear to be, the nutjob wing of the Republican Party?

1. You have to prove that you have no functional brain cells to register as a teabagger.

[HappyMe]

2. Yup. Dated, signed, in triplicate.

On the registration form in NY there is an Other box you check & write in TBag.

3. You can't register "DLC" either.

Same thing, minus one mutation.

4. The Koch Party or The Chamber Party

doesn't sound as good, and goofy hats would be harder to design if they were more accurately named.

5. You can't rigister "Tea Party" but you could be a member of "Tea Party Patriots" or any number of

other cheese dick groups that operate under the "Tea Party" banner.

The whole thing is completely un-organized. The only common threads are selfishness and racism.

6. It is not a party, it is just 'Al-Qaeda'

which means "The Base", of a 'movement. One that is perpetuated and established as well as funed by the Koch brothers and all their little organiations.

11. the tea party is the talk radio base, graduates of limbaugh university.

the koch bros gave them a bus pass out of the limbaugh closet.

they are a made-to-order corporate constituency following limbaugh hannity instructions, repeating their lines.

they've been the activists in the GOP, doing whatever and repeating whatever the corporate think tanks gave to team limbaugh/hannity to chew on all day.

and since the left has ignored talk radio for 20 years they and the media have come to think the teabaggers are correct and popular.

12. The tea party is really the idiot faction.

[AndyTiedye]

13. The Teabaggers ARE the Republican Party

There is no real daylight between them.
