(15,438 posts)I really don't give a good goddamn who you'd been employed with. Percentages don't show shit. Those 37% registered "Democrats" were more like Southern Dixiecrats who still call themselves Democrats but who vote Republican - and they still do exist, ya know. Who's to know the exact make-up of those TeaBaggers? Who CARES?
All the leaders of the largest TeaBagger movements rushed to cable shows on Fox and the Republican-friendly Hardball on MSNBC to pledge to vote Republican. They said so. If it makes you feel like a special little snowflake as you try to minimize their political allegiance and influence in our country, the painful fact for you remains that they were funded by Big Corp and Big Corp backs the Republican Party. Period.
And if you believe the TeaBagger Party is irrelevant now, you need to review your information. It's because of their presence in the U.S. Congress and state legislatures that we get gems like transvaginal probes and attacks on Planned Parenthood. It's because of them we can't get the American Jobs Bill to even be voted on in the House. It's because of them we got idiots in the Senate like Randy Paul, Marco Rubio, and Crazy Cruz filibustering weak gun control bills that 90% of the American people support. So brava
Megalo for trying to defend and stand up for these miscreants. Unfortunately, you're on the WRONG site to do it. This isn't the TeaBagger Underground. It's the DEMOCRATIC Underground.
