Hijacking the “Tea Party” theme as a rallying cry is lame. The original tea party was a protest against taxation without representation. The only reason these people don’t have “representation” is that they have been too lazy or complacent or uninterested to do something to actually get their candidates elected into office. They yap about an impending revolution when all they ever needed to do is use the electoral process the founding fathers put in place. When they use the Tea Party theme they insult the spirit behind the original.

Not so sure, Mitch -
think of it as more of a ‘wake up call’ to coagulate, activate, defecate!
And put ‘responsible’ folks in charge.
Agree, we get the bungholes we vote for. But there’s a bunch of folks out there pretty PO’d at being snowed, and not going to stand for it any more.
Whether it amounts to more than a fart in the kitchen remains to be seen…
