So what words would you use to describe the Tea Partiers?
Advertisements [?]
Lest we forget, Newt Gingrich wrote this memo once upon a time:

http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article4443.htm

It urged Republicans to use words like "traitors" to describe those with the audacity to think that America should be a better place for all -- not just the wealthy.

So it occurred to me -- what words would you use to describe the Tea Party movement and its members.

My choice: Whiners

These are people who are howling from the rooftops about paying taxes -- taxes that pay for the wars their beloved politicians like Bush and Rove started; taxes that pay for the care for the veterans they claim to honor so much; taxes that support fighting crime and putting more police on the streets of American cities; and taxes that pay for the massive infrastructure involved in the war on terror.

Why is it so wrong for some Americans to want to use some of that tax money to save the 15,000 to 18,000 Americans that die EVERY YEAR from lacking health insurance, when we've spent billions and billions to avenge the 3,000 that died on 9-11-2001.
