think it's time to quit calling GOP "Republicans" and just refer to them as "Tea" Party

[rurallib]

I can't think of a one that isn't aligned for the most part with tea party positions, either at the state or national level. '
Seems to me they have pretty much shed the skin of the Republican party and under that skin is a much uglier entity called the Tea Party.

1. I can't believe anyone calls them "gop"

Screw them and their silly nickname.

2. I agree. The "traditional" Republicans constantly have their tails between their legs

for the moneyed corporate fascists that have rebranded themselves as "Tea" Party people {I refer to them as TeaBaggers - just as they originally named themselves}.

Because there are 'indies' out there that play dumb and innocent and not 'in the know' that at the end of the day are actually disgruntled and sore loser Republicans who don't want to admit defeat.

4. Tories

Puts them in the proper historical context, particularly regarding the actual Boston Tea Party.

Then again, there's much to said for "teabaggers".

7. certainly agree with you there.

10. Personally , I prefer "whackjob extremists"

but I agree that they should be identified by the press and such as Tea Party.
