This woman DISGUSTS me. These are republicans undercover to try and get more votes from the REAL grass roots movement. TRUE democracy hijacked AGAIN!

That's just how it is. Every time a third party starts to see a bit of power, the elephants and donkeys do something to pick apart the base and either bring them over to their side or bring them "back" to their side. Happened with Perot. He took a huge chunk of popular vote in '92 so both sides started to say they were in favor of "insert random Reform party platform issue here" and brought them back with the whole "you want your vote to matter, don't you?" argument. Perot's numbers looked like Nader's in any given year when he ran in '96.

Democrats aren't the real problem. Republicans aren't the real problem. The two-party winner-takes-all system is the real problem.
 
Am I missing something? This was a McCain rally from what it looks like. If Tea Partiers showed up it was of their own accord.
 
Conservatives are pissed that we see through their chosen one's ruse. What a bunch of punks.

This appears to have been a GOP rally in support of Senator McCain. Some Tea Baggers seem to have gotten confused and showed up for Sarah Palin.

Oh god. The fact that you mix in Palin with the libertarian TEA party movement is a scary signal that Palin has snuck in. F that B.

Chosen one? Who's your chosen one? Oh that's right, you've never had one. You'd actually have to win an election, which is harder than bitching about what the other parties are doing.
 
The dems are gonna vote for dems. I think most independats will too. The only votes the teabaggers are gonna get will be from the GOP side. And even if they merge, still won't be enough.

I propose the silent majority is just patiently biding their time, laughing at these idiots, knowing that the teabaggers are their own worst enemy.

I think you're right. I certainly hope most are laughing at these folks. They have been good fodder for comedians. ;)

I never claimed to understand you people all that well. You're all bonkers :)

You explain a libertarian/tea bagger/whatever at a McCain rally. I'm interested.
