Tea party supporters
Are right-wing. No one is going to deny that except the deluded fools themselves.
However, I was talking to two women at my workplace today. One gets her political ideas from what she hears on the radio(guess where that leads) and the other is an actual Republican activist.
Both agreed with me that the Tea Party is crazy.
Both were happy to see them win because it's going to "shake up the system."
Ignore that at your peril.

1. Peril? What peril?
They are dividing the GOP... now the GOTP!

This is nothing but awesome for Democrats.

Your concern is duly noted.

2. Republican establishment has lost control
and people are egging it on because the system needs a shakeup.
Meanwhile these people will claw their way out of their graves to vote for their candidates.
We got a website redesign.
I suggest you reassess your concern level.

11. And I suggest you step away from the Kool Aid while you still can...
There's not a chance these idiots have enough ANYTHING to make a go of this ridiculous "party." They are clearly sock-puppets of the GOP (now GOTP) and Republicans are now RUNNING like mad to distance themselves from this astroturf dog and pony show.

They may vote for their candidates, and I hope they do! It only serves to dilute the Republican vote.

All hail the TEABAGGERS! They are a great asset to Democrats! Sarah Palin and the TeaBaggers (great name for a rock group) have been the best thing to happen to Democrats since... maybe forever!

12. i really like the idea of always calling them....
the tea-baggers. they came out of the gate calling themselves that until they learned what the slang term meant. we should never call them anything but what they are: tea-baggers!

3. Personally, I applaud their effort as essentially handing New York the Cumo/Duffy ticket...
Yesterday couldn't have turned out ANY better!

7. You must be a scream at your local party headquarters...
Additionally, please do not sit behind the safety of your notebook and make blind accusations towards my dedication to the efforts towards electing Democrats to office...

8. I'm not accusing of you of anything so get off your fucking high-horse
and stop assuming that these people winning means a Democratic freebie.

9. Pretty sure you accused me of "sitting on my couch" and "laughing it off"
You know what the call individuals like yourself: concern trolls.

Good day to you!

13. "They're going to vote"
A short lesson in mathematics: Christine O'Donnell got the Republican nomination for the Senate by scoring 30,000 votes in Delaware. There are about nine times that many registered Democrats in Delaware. I submit that Ms. O'Donnell's supporters could vote five times each, and she would still lose.

Oh, and I did some research a week or two ago. It turns out that if you cast your ballot while holding your nose, it counts exactly the same as someone who casts his ballot while pumping his fist (never mind where) and shouting "Fuck yeah!"

5.  Crazy!!!!!!!
I don't understand how we need to shake thing up,,any more then they are already.
I guess some people can't admit that they we're wrong.
Instead of voting out the people they supported to begin with, they find more crazies.

Just Say "NO" to the party of "NO".

I have been shaking for the last 10 years,
No more shaking please

GOP'S new Motto:

"If we all stick together, we can destroy this Country!"

How do you stand up for this craziness?

6. The peril is all theirs.....
These women clearly don't understand that giving credence to kooks will only weaken the GOP. Hell, maybe that's what they secretly want.
