2. The defense budget seems to be the ONLY thing the Republicans
don't want to cut. More power to the Tea Party!

It would be interesting to hear more from the 'sane' members, rather than those who jumped on board to be able to rub elbows with others who hate the President.

3. I get it now. "Tea Bagging" is just a rebranding of libertarianism.
NGU.

5. Been expecting something like this for some time.
The insurance industry created a monster to expedite their agenda. It was only a matter of time before they lost control of it.

9. I have said for the past year that Tea Baggers are far better than neo-cons
No one wanted to listen. I'll say it again, if the Democrat wasn't gonna win, it's a shame that Lisa Murkowski beat Joe Miller. I also hope neo-con extremists Orin Hatch and Dick Luger lose to Tea Baggers in the primary. Democrats aren't gonna win those states (well, at least not Utah) anyway, so put the Ron Paul tea bagger in there and say goodbye to the warmongering, anti-civil liberties neo-cons.
