This Just In
Apparently the teabaggers are basically just rebranded Republican theocrats. If they’re political independents, it’s only because the Republican Party isn’t sufficiently suffused with right-wing religious fanaticism.
But the joke’s on them, because now they’re even less popular than the religious right, and even atheists and Muslims. Why, they’re even less popular than Obama’s record on the economy, and that’s saying something.
The Tea Party really is the best hope Obama and the Democrats have next year – that they nominate more unelectable crazies like Sharron Angle, Linda McMahon and Christine O’Donnell, and that voters turn against the teabaggers that they elected last year. Lesser of two evils is pretty much all they have going for them next year, so they’re going to have to be pretty damn lesser to overcome the enthusiasm gap (who could have predicted that the party that strokes its base would get better turnout than the party that kicks theirs?).
