People Aren’t Drinking Tea As Much – Power Of Tea Party On The Wane
April 22, 2012
By Michael Hayne

In 2009, one couldn’t turn on the talking picture box or surf the
interwebs without being inundated with news of white angry mobs holding
up hilariously misspelled signs and screaming at Democratic
Congresspeople at town halls. The failure of John McCain to beat Barack
Obama in 2008 and, even more frighteningly, the creation of Sarah Palin,
created a whole new wave of racism and far-right economic anarchism
operating under the guise of “fiscal responsibility.” After all, fiscal
responsiblity means very little when a sociopathic, paste-eating cowboy
from Texas is running (or is it ruining?) the show. No moderate
republican was safe, and certainly no progressive Democrats could
possibly navigate through the turpentine-laced waters. Calling itself the
Tea Party, this sweeping new movement claimed to be carrying in the
revolutionary footsteps of the founding fathers, with its emphasis on
combating tyranny in the form of excessive taxation. However, the Tea
Party and its adherents overlooked one all-important caveat with regards
to cause of the Boston Tea Party: the British subjects were lamenting
taxation WITHOUT representation, not taxation on ridiculously-wealthy-
people -during-an-economic-depression WITH representation. The tea party
saw its power reach unprecedented levels during the 2010 midterm
elections, when unsuspecting voters bought the big fat zirconias being
sold them by an army of rabid, uncompromising, unreasonable economic
terrorists. In brief, the crazies took over the asylum and most Americans
had to watch in horror as these newly empowered nut jobs blindly (and
often hypocritically) took a machete to the entire edifice of FDR’s New
deal programs to score political points and make the president look bad.


But this flagrant astroturf group, funded by the billionaire Guilded Era-
like Koch Brothers, operating under the guise of a “populist movement” by
the right-wing noise machine may have to cling to classic social wedge
issues (Gays, Mexicans, gay mexicans, birth control, abortion, same-sex
marriage, gay mexicans using birth control, etc.) that imbibe today’s
Republican party, as it appears as though the faux and sanctimonious
economic liberty it once thrusted onto the fractious, unwashed masses
like an economic Ludovico technique is starting to ebb.

This past week was Tax Day and thus the Superbowl of the Tea Party, so
one would think the nation would be deluged by crowds of obese patriots
on Hoverounds and hilariously misspelled signs either equating Obama to a
“half-breed Muslin” or the murderer of six million jews but with a Joker
face. However, tax day saw a fairly modest (attendance at these events is
notoriously spiked by Fox News and right-wing media outlets) anti-tax
themed event in Orlando, Florida. The event,organized by the right-wing
Americans for Prosperity and emceed by conservative talk radio host Bud
Hedinger, saw the usual “Obama is a Marxist this, Obama is a Maoist or
whatever that” uninspiring, hate-filled speeches with campaigning
buzzwords like “liberty” and “freedom” tossed in a mere billion times or
so.

“Let them hear it in the halls of power in Washington D.C. that
we’re not giving up on this country, we know what this country was, and
we want it back the way it was and better than ever,” said a fiery
Hedinger. (Source: Washington Times)

Apparently it became clear this event wasn’t so much a rallying cry to
defeat the evil Obama socialist spending machine, but rather an attempt
to reestablish the severely waning power of the Tea Party itself. After
all, there are only so many times you can pay 50 bucks for Sarah Palin’s
autograph before realizing that you’re being fleeced by someone even more
ignorant of the world and its complicated problems than you. With the
party gearing up for a major election, it seems that such frivolous and
irate protestations on the economy and Baracknophobia isn’t as vogue as
it was in 2010-2011. Either Americans are getting smarter or this
season’s Dancing with the Stars really sucks. But according to a recent
CNN poll, nearly half of Americans have a unfavorble view of the Tea
Party.

Florida Governor Rick Scott to the rescue!

The keynote speaker at the tea-party event in Orlando was part reptilian
and part Florida Republican Governor Rick Scott, a former for-profit
healthcare businessman who proudly served the turpentine and Crystal Meth
laced tea in 2010 and assumed the governorship of Florida in a coup.
Governor Rick Scott, whose appearance and policies, often hypocritical
(see Rick Scott and Stimulus), actually make Dick Cheney look like Ted
Kennedy, has been the most voracious and vicious proponent of the radical
tea party philosophy. If the tea party were a fiefdom, Rick Scott would
be its Sultan.

The rapacious reptilian reiterated the effect the million moron army
marches had on the 2010 mid-term elections and warned them that the fight
wasn’t over yet.

“There’s still people up there that don’t realize that they work for
us,” said Gov. Scott.(Source: Washington Times)

Although Scott parroted the usual Republican talking points, like the
impending vote on a possible repeal of Obamacare, he didn’t once mention
the man who appears to be the Republican challenging him in November.
Conspicuously absent in the Governor’s discursive tirade of fun-filled
Fox facts and Obama smears, was any strong endorsement of presumptive
Republican Nominee Mitt Romney. Even though Romney is as popular with
conservatives as mixed-race, same-sex couples holding hands in public,
Scott still claimed that 2012 will be there year.

“If we do the right thing, then we are going to have a great 2013. If
we do the right thing, we’re going to have the right people elected,
we’re going to change the direction. We had a big change last time but it
wasn’t enough,” said Gov. Scott.(Source: Washington Times)

Between the Tea Party’s increasing lack of support among Americans and a
Republican nominee who could barely defeat a guy who once likened gay
marriage to having relations with a dog and whose last name is synonymous
with frothy poop, the Tea Party is starting to look more impotent than an
aging football player.

How are the park crappers doing these days? They weren't around
long after the men in biohazard suits had to clean their feces and urine
from public places or the rocks thrown at Oakland Police were cleared.

Suppose we'll see more of the Tea Party as the election grows closer?
Hope so. S'pose we'll see much more of the park crappers? Hope so.

Well, it's better to have sex with dogs than eating them.

Quite well, actually. Flying under Faux's radar, so you can't form any
opinions on them, but growing daily.

All twelve of them?

IOW, they are out panhandling, trying to collect enough for bus fare
to Tampa...

All opinions have already been formed.. They're generally thought to
be a bunch of chronic losers.

recruiting more homeless bums, druggies, and fat old hippies.
