The teabaggers are, currently, pissed at the non-teabag Republicans for their role in raising the debt ceiling. According to teabag ideology, they were supposed to kill the ceiling increase to force the government to "live within its means, like a family does." (The fact most families make house payments is lost on them.)
My thinking on this is, they MIGHT be pissed enough to band into a loose conglomeration, put the intra-tea-party squabbles aside, and run a slate of candidates against the mainstream Republicans in 2012. My bet is it'll be a Goodhair Perry-Michele Bachmann presidential ticket. (It won't be Bachmann-Perry because Bachmann is female and the Dubya Bush Edition Bible they all read (it contains Leviticus 18.22, all the smiting, and nothing else) says women are supposed to be subservient to men.)
We'd be looking at a platform with five planks:
cut taxes, spending and regulations anti-gay and anti-Muslim laws (they wouldn't just go back to Don't Ask Don't Tell, they'd go back to the era of open witch hunts) repeal the healthcare reform law eliminate every program they can't privatize and repeal the lightbulb law.
So whatcha think--will they do it?
