The health care debate has been something of a prize bonanza for members of Congress facing the ire of the Tea Party Patriots. First, tea partiers sent members thousands of tea bags. Since then, there's been salt and pink slips. And today comes the rubber chickens.
According to a Tea Party Patriot email sent early this morning, tea partiers will gather on Capitol Hill at 11:30 this morning to deliver rubber chickens to each Senator that voted to allow debate on the health care bill on Nov. 21.
The TPP national leadership's explanation for the latest special delivery, from the email:
Message to Senators: The chickens will come home to roost in 2010, and Americans are paying close attention to the health care legislation vote.

Pretty apt response from a bunch of Chicken Little's. At least they decided against the flaming bags of poo, but who knows, maybe that's next...

Are there any plans afoot to organize a rally for supporters of HCR? If the polls are accurate, I would think their numbers would swamp those of the tea baggers. This tyranny of the vocal minority is getting tiresome.

Nice to see the teabaggers finally accept that they truly are clowns.

Of course those teabaggers never stop to realize that all those rubber chickens are made in China.

Rubber chickens make great stocking stuffers. I'm sure they'll be appreciated at this time of year.
This is interesting considering the recent uproar among Teabaggers about where all their money is going. I guess they weren't aware their hard earned cash was going towards party favors.

Some pro-HCR group should send 123 Guatemalan dolls to the senators who voted NOT to debate to represent the people who die every day because they don't have insurance.
