The Bush voters had to become teabaggers. What were they going to call themselves? Bush Republicans?

[NNN0LHI]

Like they used to identify themselves as Reagan voters? Wouldn't work. Everyone knows the people who voted for Bush/Cheney(twice), had to be a complete idiots. Bush will go down as one of the worst presidents in our history. No one wants to be associated with that. So Dick Armey and some other Republicans got some money together and gave these former Bush voters something they could congeal around and rally to. And so the teabaggers were born. Thats who they are. Washed up Bush voters who don't want to admit they voted for Bush ... twice. They are your basic Republican right wing morons.

1. Yea but Armey and his minions lost control of the beast and

the beast is going to do more damage than good for Repugs.

2. Armey and his thugs are the ones with the gas card for the bus

They are the ones financing the entire thing.

So I would say they still exert quite a bit of control and call most of the shots. I have seen no evidence to the contrary.

Follow the money.

3. No doubt! They lost a lot of money on their failure to stop

healthcare reform

4. Yes indeed.

That pesky 27% who cheered about EVERYTHING the chimp did.

They are now the teabaggers.

5. You got it!

Almost every single one of them voted for Bush and Cheney, I would bet. They are in fucking denial.

6. Yes! What can these people say... I am for George Bush?

They are failures... up and down... in every realm of government.

They have led us into the world's greatest depression.. yet they have any credibility? OMFG

8. I love how younger people refer to themselves as Reagan voters

I was talking to someone at my school who was most likely not alive during Reagan's administration (or born at the tail end of it). He called himself a Reagan voter.
