Nails it. Well done. I'm going to spread this around a bit. It has good viral potential.

McSpocky, This is my idea of them. One who is very angry and bitter because of their own non-accomplishments in life that they blame everyone else for. They are more than likely a GED holder with no college at all. Many probably served in the military and wear their military camo and insignias to this day. They are primarily Southern and count themselves among the "fundamental evangelicals." They are Nascar fans by and large, drink Bud Lite and love the Confederate flag. They cluster themselves in suburban and rural areas, with mostly whites who feel and believe just like themselves. Because they have removed their own selves from most of our society, they feel very disenfranchised, but that is of their own doing. Their children are either rejectors of their way of life, or espouse it and will end up just like them. They love flea markets and do not like change or anything that is new. This is based upon my observations and I am an older, college educated, southern white woman, who took a different road and am so thankful I did so!

Tea-publican = Reactionary to afraid of the future to let go of the flat world theory and take responsibility for themselves so they must hold God in reserve as an excuse.

No the average tea party "patriot" is still stuck in 1850, complaining that those yankee's are going to take the slaves away! Of course most of them are too poor to own slaves, but they think as long as there are slaves, they will not be on the bottom rung of society!

I saw a similar one of these graphics about the Tea Party on the net, so I decided to create my own. Sounds like I must have done a good job. :)

The two middle pictures are the most close to "what the do". LOL.

Truth is, they say they want smaller government, but they want that government in people's bedrooms and private lives. They say they are for freedom, but they want women to be subjected to what a bunch of old men say they should be. They say they want freedom of religion, but it has to be a branch of their religion. I'd say they are a bunch of hypocrites.

But I love this explanation. Especially the part showing the sheep watching Faux News. LOL.

This needs to be on 'BILL BOARDS' all across America. Along the Highways and By-ways, at the Air ports and Train Stations! I think I will start the movement, by making this my 'SCREEN SAVER'. A picture really is worth a THOUSAND WORDS!

Great laugh for the day, McSpocky!

I would also like to see a picture of them hanging around the base of ladder of evolution, sucking on long necks and grabbing the ankles of anyone trying to climb up. lol

Bad humor seems to be all that the liberals have left. They can't stand on their own record, and will once again be completely swamped by the Great Tea Party Movement in November. But at least they can laugh and pass the joint within their own steadily shrinking circles.

Never mind the fact that the Tea Party is becoming more and more irrelevant by the day...

Yep, the goose-stepping has stopped. When right wingers can see themselves in that pictorial, and feel the sad humor in the truth depicted, it's a brand new day...
A picture really is worth a thousand words,nuff said!

I believe the 'fever' has broken...and the recovery, back to sanity, should be brisk!

    If the conservatives would lighten up and gain a bit of humor and develop a consciousness I think we'd like them a whole lot better.

      Liberals love there own highly successful record. Liberals do not like the record of the obstructionist Teapublicans who have worked tirelessly to destroy this country in an attempt to keep President Obama from being reelected.

      The original tea party would be ashamed to be associated with the so called tea party of today.

      The originals were oppressed by taxation without representation, the tea party has representation, so wtf are they still complaining about?

      Comparing today's Tea Party with the original Tea Party is like comparing Rick Santorum with Abraham Lincoln. Poor imitations with nothing in common.
