Tea drinkers against the "Tea Party" |
|
I've been drinking tea most of my life. I guess some might consider me a tea aficionado. I really resent these RW nut jobs associating my favorite beverage with their "movement". What can us tea drinkers do to reclaim our brew from the wingnuts?
I thought about joining the Coffee Party, but I really dislike coffee, and felt it would be hypocritical of me to do so.

1. me too - tea drinker. keep on calling them 'bags' |
|
loose tea by the pound is cheaper then bagged tea and you have more choices.
'bag' has several different meanings that have nothing to do with tea. so I call them 'bags'.
(for yrs. I've dealth with a family tea business - Simpson and Vail. just to give this fine company a boost in this economy)

For a while they had Karakatia, the best single estate Assam I've ever had, but the plantation seems to have stopped picking, alas.

3. Do you know whether S&V is available in the greater-Boston area? |
|
I'd love to give it a try.
BTW, I also resent these "baggers" claiming ownership of a significant historical event in my part of the country. Many a Massachusetts liberal would love to see them leave our local history out of their particular anti-govt conniption.

8. I never liked tea it leaves a bad taste in my mouth. |
|
But those that do good for them. But since these KKK tea bags have come out I know now why all these years it did leave a terrible taste in my mouth.

9. Ironic, isn't it, that the tea partiers are probably not tea drinkers |
|
Since it's been my observation that tea drinkers are more likely to be liberals.

10. Had to switch to tea because coffee was raising my blood pressure too high |
|
I adjusted to the lower caffeine, but it's a damn shame what these idiots have done to the good name of tea. :evilfrown:
