Tea Time

It's still January. The GOP primaries are barely underway, and the candidates described as Tea Party favorites are nowhere to be found. The Snow Bunny wisely decided to sit out this race and rake in the kale as a TV talking head. Sugar Cain, Moochele Bachmann, and El Perrito went down in a matter of days -- bang, bang, bang, just like that.

There's possibly a lesson here about the Tea Party, maybe more than one. First, when it comes to choosing favorite candidates, the Tea people are clueless assholes. The congressmen they helped elect in 2010 are a bunch of unqualified fumble-fucks who would destroy the country if there weren't a few grownups around to tell them they can't have candy before supper.

Furthermore, the Tea Party apparently exerts minimal influence in Republican Party politics at the national level. They do pretty well in small elections, like those for House seats. In November 2010, Tea Party pick Bachmann ran in the most conservative district in Minnesota, the 6th district. She spent nearly 9 million dollars on her campaign, and received about 160,000 votes (53 percent). The bimbo let success go to her head, and decided she was ready for the White House. The Tea Party wasn't strong enough to get her there... or Herman or Rick either, for that matter.

The Tea Party people are always talking about taking back their country. Those assholes aren't a majority in America -- they aren't even a majority in the GOP. Fuck 'em.
