The last tea party I attended was hosted by my daughters Mikelle and Gina who were 5 and 6 at the time. Even at that tender age they had enough sense to hold this event indoors out of the elements lest anything fall into their imaginary tea.
The headlines in this morning's paper shouts, "Conservatives rally on tax day". "Tea party events aim to send Congress a message". Where have these teetotalers been for the past 8 years? The taxes these idiots are protesting are from the Bush policies for the two terms where the elephants trampled all over Washington, the Constitution, Civil Rights, will of the people, sucked up to big industry giving no-bid contracts to cronies of Cheney and refused to this day admit that they were lying to the world about reasons to go to war with Iraq.
So here we are today and fittingly enough it is raining and snowing on this media hyped and Talk Show/Fox News driven phony event. An example of the stupidity we have in local elected office is Margaret Dayton who was dumb enough to include a tea bag with her tax returns. She has no idea how much taxpayer money was flushed down the dumper because of these simp's did similar stunts and the IRS offices must check every tea bag to see if it is tea or something else like ricin or anthrax.
This entire comedy only illustrates how the GOP has been taken over by dimwits like Rush, Hannity, O'Reilly, Beck and their fellow travelers. The only place that any of these gatherings should take place is in front of W''s house, or Cheney's, Rove's or any of their accomplices.
For me, I'm going to the nearest pub and hoist a few in thankfulness that none of the aforementioned are in charge any longer. Cheers!
