Breakout the Tea-Bags and Diapers: Vitters wants a National Tea Party day
Of course the obvious question I think we all have is 'WHERE THE HELL WAS VITTERS AT FOR THE LAST 8 YEARS WHEN BUSH WAS SPENDING OUR MONEY LIKE A DRUNKEN SAILOR ON HOOKER BINGE' (wait, Vitter uses hookers, guess that wasn't a good analogy)

Vitter Wants National Tea Party Day

The tax day tea party movement is gaining steam, as TV celebrities and political figures try to glom onto what might be a burgeoning populist groundswell. Neil Cavuto and Sean Hannity of Fox News will join events in Sacramento and Atlanta. Newt Gingrich will be in New York. And on Friday Sen. David Vitter (R-La.) proposed to make a law honoring April 15 as National Tea Party Day.

Vitter's got a Web page that says "millions" of Americans will join protests "to register their displeasure with our government's addiction to wasteful spending, bailouts for big business, and higher taxes."

Before they register that displeasure, Vitter wants them to register as Citizen Co-Sponsors of his effort to "force the Senate to recognize this day as a formal protest by the people against these policies."

An organizer of the tax day protest outside the Treasury Department in Washington, D.C. told the Huffington Post that several Republican politicians -- it now seems Vitter might have been one of them -- had asked to speak at the event, only to be rebuffed because, as the organizer puts it, "We're not a function of the Republican party."

1. Vitter is only pushing for this because he thinks there will be teabagging going on.

2. A national Republicon Diaper Day !

Not surprised Sen. Vitter -- yet ANOTHER Republicon Chickenhawk -- is behind this crappy, anti-American idea.

I am sure all the wide-stance Family Values republicons will Get Their Diapers On for THE BIG ONE.

It's about time the Republicons got their diaper & tea bagging thing out of the closet.

7. Paraphilic infantilism....Vitter's diaper fetishism raises questions...
Does he like to wet his diaper? Or is number two involved?

3. Why does Vitter still have a job? Isn't paying hookers to change your poopy bum illegal?

4. This is one difference between the Dems and the Thugs.
We need a Dem to stand up and call for action from the people and can't find one. Vitter will rally the remainder of the shell shocked troops, you can believe that. It will be a small but mighty insane crowd and we will see MSM news coverage like you can't believe.

11. The Republicans are expert at exploitation. Has anyone noticed how
both State Leaders and DC are hopping on the Tea Pary Bandwagon.
This is how you muster votes in the long run.
