Teabagger-turned-Senator schools us all on why teabag-loving Republicans rock, and Democrats do not

[Amerigo Vespucci]

Dean Murray has become the first Tea Party member to hold office.



The Long Island businessman, who won a lengthy recount in a special election, was sworn into his New York State Senate seat on Monday.

Murray was one of the original organizers of last year's Tax Day Tea Party protest.

Despite identifying himself as a Tea Party member, Murray chose to run on the Republican ticket. Speaking to Greta Van Susteren, the newly elected state senator said:

:cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry:

I am very happy to be in the Republican Party. I'll tell you why, because it seems like while the Democratic Party is working so hard to tear down what the Tea Party movement is about and discredit them, it seems the Republican Party is embracing the Tea Party movement.

2. Meh, having grown up on LI and moved away as fast as I could...

this guy is just one of a number of numb nuts that live there.

Believe me, most of LI is extraordinarily conservative, so honestly, this guy is nothing special.

help but think--These are the Angry White Men of late 70s
and 80s. Remember them???
