TEABAG!!!

[captain_slinky]

I really hope that The Teabaggers (or "Teabag Movement", or whatever they finally decide on for a name) become a full-fledged Political Party soon, along the same lines as The Libertarians, The Green Party and all of the other etceteras out there. It would REALLY help The Republican party weed out all of the more extreme members and bring some amount of focus to both factions instead of having them constantly at odds. And it would be nice to see the actual message of each party without it being muddied by the agenda of the others.

I'm still a bleeding-heart Liberal Democrat who believes in big government and even bigger government spending, but I'm excxited to see as many different opinions as possible so I can tear them apart and look down upon those who think differently than I do :)

I certainly DON'T love her. The more she talks, the more antipathy I feel for her. But she certainly guarantees that people know about her.

I was rather surprised that she was such a big speaker for them. She so totally toed the party line in the election and how the Republican party has changed is part of what has them in an uproar.

"Someone is willing to pay me to speak? I'll tell them what they want to hear!" I guess that's being a Maverick!

I will be very disappointed if she ends up being a leader of this movement. In a lot of ways she feels to me like one of the talking heads (Limbaugh, O'Reilly, Olberman, ad nauseum) in that she talks just to rile up a certain market without really much thought beyond the sound of her own voice.
