Why do they call the Tea Party a movement?
when all it does is make the government constipated.

1. I'm pretty sure there were more people in some of the various clubs
at my high school than there have been at many tea bagger rallies.

2. Because we allow corporate themes to become the "common wisdom" like
all the rest of the fuckwit consumers that we look down our noses at.

Intellectually we know it isn't a movement but eventually the language of the MSM becomes ours as well.

Because we are stupid, would also work.

4. I clicked on this threat with the intention of sharing
some lowbrow scatological humor from my inner 10-year-old.

But I see there is no need to dump anything further here.

7. Because The Corporate Backers Have Good PR People, And Good PR People Are Good At
Because the corporate types bankrolling the Tea Party have good public relations people, and good public relations people are good at spreading (bleep) --censored-- (bleep).
