Teabaggers quit when they realize changing the system actually takes work
Michele Bchmann is complaining that the media is portraying her Teabagging followers as a bunch of toothless hillbillies. I think for once the media may have gotten it right. But here's a real telling item about these clueless fucks. When the going gets tough, apparently, the Teabaggers get going--the other way:


One of the problems in Minnesota is tracking down those passionate Tea Partiers.

One of dozens of Tea Party-related websites, TeaParty.org – which encourages followers to “send a pink slip to every congressman” and promises that “this coming November, We The People will not be satisfied with merely un-electing garbage politicians; we are demanding a complete and thorough fumigation of Washington and the return to the sweet fragrance of Liberty” – offers a list of Minnesotans who it identifies as state organizers.

But contacting the people on that list turns up a number of people who claim that they’re no longer involved with the movement, and a quick dismissal.

“The time and energy involved in working hard for a good, legitimate reason – it was a very difficult thing,” says David Lawrence of Watertown, who is identified on TeaParty.org as Minnesota’s “official Tea Party coordinator,” but who says he’s withdrawn from that role.

1. The Tea Party will vanish as the economy gets better
It will lose what little steam it ever had. Exactly what platform will they have to run on when it does? Taxes? Bad economy? LOL. It's a weak and stupid movement fueled by weak and stupid people. It'll be largely forgotten within 1 to 2 years.
