A Mad Tea Party
http://www.aliceinwonderland.com/ch7.html

`Have some wine,' the March Hare said in an encouraging tone.

Alice looked all round the table, but there was nothing on it but tea. `I don't see any wine,' she remarked.

`There isn't any,' said the March Hare.

`Then it wasn't very civil of you to offer it,' said Alice angrily.

`It wasn't very civil of you to sit down without being invited,' said the March Hare.

`I didn't know it was YOUR table,' said Alice; `it's laid for a great many more than three.'

`Your hair wants cutting,' said the Hatter. He had been looking at Alice for some time with great curiosity, and this was his first speech.

`You should learn not to make personal remarks,' Alice said with some severity; `it's very rude.'

While Emanuel seemed eager to paint Limbaugh as the head of the GOP, some Republicans were growing anxious. Appearing on Meet the Press, veteran strategist Mike Murphy -- no stranger to trying to drag his party away from certain ideologically-fervent posts -- warned that the ascendancy of the talk shot host to the top ranks of the GOP could result in a "permanent minority status."

The country is changing. Ronald Reagan won in 1980 with 51% of the vote. We all worship Ronald Reagan. But if that election had been held with the current demographics in America today, Ronald Reagan would have gotten 47 percent of the vote. The math is changing. Anglo vote is 74 percent now not 89. And if we don't modernize conservatism, we are going to have a party of 25 percent of the vote going to Limbaugh rallies, joining every applause line, ripping the furniture up, we're going to be in permanent minority status.

1. I DON'T WORSHIP REAGAN!!! In fact,
I despise and denounce everything he stood
for and for the lies and crimes he committed
in order to destroy the moderate and leftist
sectors in Latin America, and for the
deregulation and desire to break labor unions.

2. Who is the "we all"?
You'd have to be brain dead to worship Ray-gun.

Mad Hatter Rush is the new leader of the teabagger party. They have sealed their own fate with this one.

3. That last paragraph is a quote from conservative pundit Mike Murphy
and I think he meant the 'royal' we, as in conservatives worship St. Ronnie.
