The Teabagging Dilemma
Edited on Sat Apr-18-09 08:01 PM by WeDidIt
The GOP has a "teabagging dilemma".

Look at the teabaggers and look at the McCain/Palin rallies from October of last year.

These are the same people. This is the crowd the GOP is working up into a froth.

If Sarah Palin isn't the GOP nominee, these people are going to bolt, guaranteed. They won't accept Romney or anybody else. For them, it's Palin or they won't go GOP.

So from my viewpoint, the teabagging events were a success.

1. I'm hoping for at least 3 splinters.
The Sarah Palin splinter.
The Mitt Romney splinter.
The Ron Paul splinter.

Hopefully, they will do this well before for the primaries.

2. A splinter right-wing teabagger party - a dream come true.
More nuts in one place than even Planters could imagine.

3. The tea party backfired big time. I think we underestimate
the hope of these people that all of "amercia" would rise up and follow them. It ran shakey moderates and independents back over to our side.

4. I have to believe that's true. I mean, those people were SCARY! Anyone with a
functioning brain could see how misplaced their anger was and how deep their ignorance.

I can't imagine many people with sense being attracted to that.
