There should be an investigation of the Tea Party Congressional Caucus to determine their role, what they knew, and when they knew it, regarding the intention attempt to deceive the public by Andrew Breitbart's selective editing of the ACORN and Shirley Sherrod videos.

Yeah, isn't it convenient that they line up for us, isn't it? If I was a right wing nut, I'd be talking about weapons now. LOL
I'm not a right wing nut, though, so I'll just applaud the honesty of these politicians: "Yes we are fruitcakes and PROUD OF IT!! YOU MUST HATE FREEDOM AND AMERICA IF YOU DON'T love Fruitcakes like us."
I paraphrased a little. LOL

With the possible exceptions of Colorado and California, so far at least there's not a state on the list I'd ever want to live in.

Hey Missouri's not a bad state! We have our share of Teanuts and crackers, but the cities of KC and St. Louis are nice areas, by and large. And a lot of great scenery in out-state MO as well.

Anyone noticing any patterns. All safely gerrymandered seats. Where's Paul Ryan? Only 5 above the original Mason-Dixon line. First question, where do these pinheads fall on the 10th Amendment and the delusion that it allows for secession. I can't wait until Graham, Snowe and Collins are up for election again and they follow Charlie Christ into the Dem caucus. I doubt Grover Norquist did not imagine his comments on making government so small you could drown it in a tub would apply to the political party he supports.

Woohooo, Michele Bachmann sure looking pretty. The lady is born to lead, to inspire, to induce...dreams in the long crepuscular interludes, where political strategy is promulgated...

No, she's looking anorexic. Someone tell her hubby to prescribe some different stimulants, the ones she's on now are making her pupils perpetually dilated and her weight loss is verging on dangerous.
And most of us know it's also affecting her ability to reason. But, that goes so far back, it would be hard to find the beginning.

Moran's just sharpening up his wingnut Bowie knife, he's facing a Senate primary knife-fight against Todd "Teaheart" in Kansas, but since you probably work for Todd you know that already, no?
Disclaimers are always the honorable route.

I live in Kansas City, MO and we get to see all the campaign ads targeted to Kansans. Talk about 2 loons running to the Right of each other! Neither Tiahart nor Moran deserve to hold elected office, esp. statewide. Moran's latest ad has him saying the he doesn't believe that "terrorists" have ANY rights under the US constitution. All I can ever think of when seeing that is: Tim McVeigh-domestic terrorist.

Releasing a list of House members on anti-psychotic medication is a violation of privacy!

But, of course, we're supposed to believe the apologists who insist the TeaBaggers are "independents."

Notice the conspicuous absence of Tea Party messiah Ron Paul.
I disagree with most of his positions, but the man is a class act. And wouldn't degrade himself to aligning with the "Tea Party Caucus"

What a hit parade! Creationists, gun fetishists, birthers, death panelers, survivalists, drill-baby-drillers, anti-immigrant Know-Nothings, gay bashers, secessionists, tax rebels, gold hoarders, flat-earthers, whale hunters, end-of-timers, 9/11 conspiracists, science deniers, torture lovers, refudiators, and every other variety of anti-social misfit on the planet. Let's just hope they get a special night of their own on prime time at the 2012 GOP convention.

Oh, and I think they should break away from the Republican party and form their own party. Yeah, that'd be nice.

All white, all the time, with 25 manly men among manly men and women know it, and two women - sounds like today's GOP in a nutshell.
