Tea Party Halloween costume suggestions needed

[REACTIVATED IN CT]

Its a busy day at work on 10/31 plus the auditors are due to arrive that day. I combed the local thrift shops for an easy to don/doff costume. Makeup and wigs just won't work for us that day.

I found a brown vinyl tri-corner hat which I bought. I'll hang tea bags from it and go as a tea party patriot. I also have some old cap pistols in the garage from the former owner's grandkids and a couple of holsters. I picked up a couple of other black felt kid's pirate costume hats that I can modify to be tri-cornered .

Any suggestions as to clothing for male and female costumes ? We can wear jeans/tee-shirts that day. I have some small American flags we can wave and a couple of large ones we could wrap ourselves in. Any other suggestions ? Maybe some mis-spelled signs.

I'm off to an Occupy Shoreline rally now. Will check back later. Thanks !

1. Too warm for indoor wear

but if you google images of "astroturf ponchos" you'll see a photo of a tea party couple wearing them to a rally.

If you work in a place where the public comes in, I hope they don't mistake you for TP supporters!

6. Camoflage is a good idea. I don't own any but

some others who are participating may have some.

I work at a rehab hospital.
We're only going to dress up for the Halloween parade at noon, and parade thru the units.

I can carry a faux TV with Faux News on the screen

I found my copy of the Constitution to carry

9. Don't forget the "Morans" sign nt

[Initech]

10. I think it'd be kind of tough to find a rascal scooter painted with the constitution.

11. Hank Williams Jr.-Cowboy hat , whiskey bottle and dark shades.

Glenn Beck-Hang a little chalkboard around your neck and cry a lot.

Sheriff Joe Arpaio-Fat suit, a little tin Star and pink underwear.

Sean Hannity-this one might be a little painful. You have to get someone to put a straw into your head and suck your brains out.

Rush Limbaugh-think Jabba the Hut with Michelle Bachamnn as Princess Leia.

12. I'm doing the same thing

In addition to the hat with tea bags and flags...

Plan to make a bunch of little signs to pin to my clothes:

"the guvment needs to stay out of my medicare"

For my ass a bumper sticker "limbaw/beck 2012"

An a printed Fox logo pinned somewhere...

Could use a few more suggestions.

15. Great ideas.

I'm thinking abut a two sided sign.

"Repeel Obamacare" "No Sosialist Medisine" on one side

and

"Hands off my Medicare" on the other.

I may do the faux TV with Faux News on it. I don't have a color printer, though, so printing Sarah Palin et al's photos may not work well.

17. How about pitcher of Kool-Aid ?

Ideally with the koolaid smiley face on it

13. A beer gut. and a wife beater's shirt

The first is a bit hard if you aren't fat.

14. Go as an asshole - that's the most authentic Teabagger costume possible.

16. Here ya go

21. *snort*

:rofl:

18. The weather is getting cooler here, so I think a sweatsuit

will be appropriate - with a a pillow stuffed in it for the beer gut. If I can't find a pitcher for the KoolAid, I can cut one out of cardboard.
