Ran into a real, live teabagger today

Post #332,019 by mhuber 8/29/10 6:38:53 AM Reply	Ran into a real, live teabagger today At a divorce support group event. I refused to engage, repeatedly. Identified myself as being on the left, but refused on therapeutic grounds. Refused over, and over, and over. I was there to drink and gripe about psycho-ex's. Not talk politics. It's mostly a pretty good group. I entirely vouch for the benefits of burlesque therapy. --------------------------------------- I think it's perfectly clear we're in the wrong band. (Tori Amos)

Being Republican Is Not Being a Tea Party Member This whole Tea Party thing is to get Al Sharpton, Glenn Beck, Paul Rand and Sarah Palin Multi-Mega Deals for books, speaking fees and stuff for free. I'm almost surprised that Good Ole An Coultier isn't in the fray.

They both want the Democrats out of power... but for very different reasons. All I'm saying is this: I'm not embarrassed about my vote. I could NOT bring myself to vote for the Republican Presidential Ticket in 2008. ANYONE except the possibility of Sarah Palin having launch codes. I'd have voted for Al Sharpton and the dead Ron Brown. Heck even Herbert Hoover or Al Gore... or Ross Perot or even Ralph Nader. ANYONE except Sarah Palin. If by some chance, Glenn Beck and/or Sarah Palin get the Republican ticket for 2012... I'll just laugh all the way to the polls.
