Wasn't it their attempts to disrupt the government what inspired real Americans like the 99% movement and OWS to take action? It's funny how that backfired on them...


Sorry I just jumped ahead 5 years in time there for a minute. Carry on.

3. The sugar daddies quit writing checks

So their little tools all went back home to watch Fox. If someone isn't chartering the buses and renting out the venues, they don't show up. Which is one of the ways our popular media could distinguish between Astroturf and Grass Roots. If they were so inclined to do that.

the head of our local tea party was a kid that no one liked in high school and now finally has friends - other tea bag losers.
