1. Since they delight in calling us the "Democrat Party"

perhaps it's time that we stop using the term "Republican" and refer to them exclusively as The Tea Party.

[spanone]

3. i'm fine with that. they are what they are.

[Raschel]

7. They are the D (douche) Bag party.

[HughBeaumont]

2. I say call them the Tea Klux Klan.

Don't even give them the satisfaction of trumping it up to anything more than what it really is.

[Catshrink]

4. The RNC is paying for their signs

Hey, at least it's out in the open now. What will the die-hard tea baggers do when they realize they've been used? Again.

5. the tea party movement was hijacked

If we ever got a real movement going it would probably be hijacked as well.

They couldn't let the message get out, the fact they are really protesting the bailouts, taxing the poor to give to the rich.

They own the media, they now pretend to own the movement.

6. not hijacked, embraced. they are part of the republican party.

[FSogol]

8. It wasn't hijacked, it was always part of the GOP

They are angry because a black man is President and they are too stupid to understand the issues. Also because ratfuckers like Armey, Cheney, and talk radio egg them on.
