4. "Grassroots Organization"
That just happens to have top-level professional designers that work for free? Hmm... theoretically possible, except for one thing...

*Right-wingers* working for free? Hahaha, you gotta be kidding me.

5. I wish some reporter would do their job...
...and expose this entire tea-party thing--for the corporate-run farce that it is.

I do believe that 15-20 percent of the wingnut wing of the Republican party is attracted
to the tea party. However, this entire thing was conceptualized in a board room by
big money on the Republican side.

They created this Frankenstein, and their mouthpieces in talk radio galvanized the wing
nuts.

That's obvious. Now, why doesn't someone just SAY THAT and tell the truth about this
organization?

Great point about the bus (which is bigger than my first apartment!).

media reform should be #2.

19. That interior looks like it was decorated by James O'Keefe. And really...

What is the Tea Party Express supposed to do anyway? Who rides in it? If it were organizers, wouldn't the interior be more like an office? Its obvious whoever is carted around in this beast stays in hotels because there are no sleeping quarters.

It seems to me like the bus is just a prop. It's only purpose is to run around the country wasting diesel doing nothing at all other than being a rolling billboard.

8. The Teabagger bus is grassroots.... fertilized with the BS from billion dollar corporations.
Amazing what millions of dollars from Fortune 500 companies can buy in a "SuperBus" isn't it?

11. AMEN! The busses I've rode that belong to true grassroots groups are not new and shiny.
That would require money.

17. "Express IV" -- So, they are shooting up "freedom" intravenously?

The Veterans for Peace bus looks a lot more comfortable. ^_^

22. I thought you might get a chuckle.
There are so few opportunities for a chuckle when it comes to this crap, that I thought I would just play the fool and put it out there.

I thought of your bus pictures this morning... a damned TeaBagger (which is what I called her to her face) was trying to give me the crap about how "pure" they are, and not connected to the corporations. Thanks to you, I brought up the buses, but wish I could have stuffed the picture right under her nose. It speaks volumnes!

Express IV, indeed! Mainlineing it!

20. Maybe there are three other $1 million buses.
Now that I think of it, I hope there are four of those buses, because that's four House elections that won't be bought because some Tea Party chumps decided to travel in a luxury screw-coach with five air conditioners instead.

21. They got plenty. Those few million don't cost them districts or statehouses.
The RNC is a mess but the outside groups are pouring money in about everywhere like it was seawater.

The scope is on another level than you're thinking off.
