. the TEA Party you would like to believe has been “bought”… by big money. Nope.. go to a TEA Party rally. You might just be surprised
i didn’t say that. what i said is that the “tea party” was astroturfed. there was no “tea party” until big money decided to start filling up tour buses to protest in front of the capitol.
now, i admit that their 15 minutes of fame allowed them to take quite a few seats in congress in an off-year election. dems were stupid and lazy for sitting that one out and allowing them to do that.
and, uh… maybe i would go to a “tea party” rally… if there were any. besides, they’d likely turn their anger on me for being pro-labor, while ignoring the fact that their interests are perfectly aligned with david koch’s.
it just goes to show you that when the big money abandoned them, the “tea party” kind of shrinkled up and disappeared from the national stage.
