re: #65 Targetpractice

The Tea Party is a dumping ground for disaffected Republicans, convinced that the problem is not that they’re decaying fossils of a bygone era, but rather that they’re the only “sane” ones who realize that the country’s going “down the tubes” and they must destroy America to save it.

1960’s: Goldwaterites.
1970’s: Silent Majority
1980’s: Moral Majority
1990’s: Conservative When Conservative Wasn’t Cool (Sen. Phil Gramm)
2000’s: Compassionate Conservatism
2010’s: Tea Party

What’s that saying about lipstick and a pig?
