Great! Let a polarizing group grab ahold of something and make it a biased, shitty event.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.

Re: Tea Party 2.0
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.

Re: Tea Party 2.0
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.

Re: Tea Party 2.0
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 testimonyMarkCCU wrote:Bro, it's the truth.

Re: Tea Party 2.0
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?
