Sarah Palin has helped out a lot in the life of that young and talented woman - I hope Michelle Bachmann does the same.

BTW Tina Fey oughta be given the nobel prize for literature, politics and comedy - all 3 even if there were no categories, create it and hand her one each. I think she sank Sarah Palin beautifully.

Cool.

It is a result of the TEA party losing its base.
It would slow the descent ... cos it has moderated the republican party. Its loosened the grip of the Kock bros on the country.
Cool.

TEA party of 2013 I meant, not the TEA party of 2008.
How about we call the co-opted TEA as Tea baggers ?

Cool.
Srinath.

You are TEA party of 2008.

TEA baggers are TEA party of 2013.

Cool.

The Tea Party was an organic movement that sprang up in support of Ron Paul. He Is a Libertarian. He just simply can not run for office under that heading. The game is so rigged that anything with a label other than an R or a D just cant get the "face time" on TV or get included in debates & get on ballots. He is listed as a Bub. He certainly votes in a more Bubesque manner than Libtardian, but his vote is always constrained by the Big C.
Im sure that next will be a chorus of "But what about those "Earmarks"?"
Well, he always votes against them. Kind of like voting against turning over the apple cart when youre running with a bunch of people. They turn it over anyway & all those apples are goin somewhere.. you can either grab some & take them home or not,,, the damage is done, let your family do without or take some of the spoils home,,

OHHH do tell me how great your character is that youd walk away from it all over that..

As for Bachmann, she supports the teaching of intelligent design in public school science classes ...(dear God what a fool).

So, you would teach what? The Theory of evolution that no one can show a species evolving to another?

If things evolve in a direction that makes survival more likely, when did it become helpful for that ape to be without a pelt?

Midnight -
You are succumbing to that "hate the rich" mentality that does nothing but advance the cause of class warfare.
Remember one thing about our American Revolution - unlike most all of the other major revolutions in history, it was not a revolution of the poor and down trodden, against a ruling elite.  That's what the French and Russian Revolutions were.
Rather, ours was a revolution of the RICH, against an unfair tax system,  enacted by the English Parliament, without any representation from the Colonies.
The Boston Tea Party was the destruction of tea, the most prized consumable product in the Colonies, as an act of defiance against the TAX that had been placed on tea that was sent to the Colonies by Parliament.
Remember that at this time in history, the English crown was broke, from several centuries of almost constant warfare with the French, Dutch, and Spanish.  Parliament knew that the colonies had no representation, and targeted the colonies as a source of revenue to help bail out Great Britain from its financial woes.
Our founding fathers, whom we revere, or at least should, were all very wealthy men, either large scale farmers in the South, or very successful merchants from New England.  In fact, in today's dollars, George Washington was clearly the wealthiest ever President.
So before you go off ranting against the rich, and the interests of business, remember who it was who led the Revolution.  Jefferson, Washington, the Lee family were all the Gates and Buffets of their day.
In fact, what always amazes me is that they got the common colonist to go along with them and spill his blood to cast off the British, under whose rule the average, middle class small time farmer, artisan, tradesman, and small town merchant actually had it pretty good.
