Tea Party 2.0

Post by Ibanez »

http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0509/22436.html
Hoping to recapture the grassroots energy of last month’s “tea parties,” Republican Govs. Mark Sanford of South Carolina and Rick Perry of Texas will host a tele-town hall Thursday that’s being dubbed “Tea Party 2.0.”

The Republican Governors Association said it is expecting 30,000 people to participate in the town hall, which will take place roughly one month after the much-publicized anti-tax tea party rallies held in hundreds of locations across the country on April 15, the tax filing deadline.

Sanford and Perry will each speak for several minutes before opening up the town hall to up to an hour-long question and answer session.
Great! Let a polarizing group grab ahold of something and make it a biased, shitty event. :evil:

Honestly, words escape me. I think the tea party in essence was a good idea, but the bashing and the bullshit is 8 years to late and is more sour grapes than anything.

I like Sanford. I don't always agree with him but he is one of the few politicians who has stood on principle even to the point of taking on his own state's republican legislature. At least on the state perspective, party hasn't been very important to Sanford and I don't think very many of the republican legislative leaders are very fond of him.

But I agree, if republicans are thowing the gig, then they should leave the tea party name out of it.

Maybe once you've had the taste of ball sac in your mouth, you have to have more. I don't care how much these folks like the taste of testes, I ain't going for it.

They can tea bag each other all they want, I don't care.

Bro, it's the truth. I went to the one here in Charlies Town and it was pretty tame...but there were the few that went on and on about Obama being a socialists, stolen votes, "liberal media", blah blah blah.


Where was the anger when Bush dropped his pants, shit out our respect and surplus and flushed down a Chinese made toilet?

They are STILL traumatized by the GHWB defeat at the hands of slick willie, which none of them ever dreamed could happen. Then Bill was RE-ELECTED over national E.D. front man, Bob Dole (if you had to sleep with liddy, could you get it up?), then the G.D. Senate would not convict willie for saying he did not have "sex" with the ugly fat jew crunt, even in the face of female AZGrizFan look alike Linda Tripp's solidly gold testimony :lol: (sorry, I just cracked myself up there) which set about a shit storm over Hillary's "stand by your man" attitude, and the now the stubborn cling-ons of the Former Republican Party are wailing and squealing like stuck pigs over Obama's every single effort to back fill Junior Bush's huge giant sink hole he bulldozed our country in, for the advancement of he, his, and the Saudi's gross disgusting wealth.

no shit. I agree 100%. Hell, it ain't nothing but a bunch of racist rednecks flying that shitty rebel flag trying to reclaim their precious "states rights". What state rights? The right to lynch and hang blacks? So glad the Union kicked their ass in 1865.
