Bullshit. The Teabaggers are not about wasteful government
Wastefulness in government is bipartisan. They'll waste it on war. We'll use it for social programs. Actually, waste in government can be good. It produces jobs, even if they aren't really necessary. If the douchbag movement was really honest, they'd say what their platform is really about:

- Minorities are over breeding!
- The unemployed are brownies and darkies!
- Your president is a n****r!
- We want guns in preschools!
- We need to attack Iran, Pakistan, and maybe some other stan!
- The military is too small!
- Teachers and nurses are spoiled!
- The bible should be the only textbook!
- God wants death for homos!
- We deserve government benefits, not the coloreds!
- Environmentalists are terrorists!
- We trust corporations over government!

2. Yeah, that pretty well sums it up. But we used to just call them "Republicans".

6. So true
the teabaggers and their ilk never had a problem with big government, as long as it cut out "those people". To borrow a line, they found their "inner libertarian" when government programs became available to everyone.

7. Google "tea party platform" for fun
You will find out that liberals are always responsible for all bad things, among other "facts".

There was a supposed tea party platform that went around a few months ago, which read like it was written by the John Birch Society. These people are crazystupid assholes. There's people who talk about how we should work with them, but IMO I don't want to work with them. They're fanatics, and they will happily destroy everything if we turn our backs on them.

11. What they really want to say, but CAN'T.
Even then, often times it doesn't stop them:
