Well... I have been a bit busy lately and have not been paying full attention to the right wing shenanigans but WOW, this Fox News Teabag thing is really something to watch.
A classic "if you can't beat 'em, buy 'em" move. What I mean is, the right wing of America has been beaten badly. Their leadership is just terrible and the only real message of consistency out there is to say "no" to anything the Dems and Obama try to do.
So they have proceeded to "buy" a grassroots movement. A bunch of right wing nut bag lobbyists, in partnership with Fox News have manufactured this tea bag thing.
This is unfortunate for a few reasons:
- It will charge up all those people who are one click away from total crazy and they may pull the trigger after this.
- It will further move "real" conservatism to the galactic fringe of political discussion... I say this is bad because I never have minded a good debate between liberal and real conservative issues. Those debates have always been based on solid ideals and values, unlike this stuff that Fox News is doing which is just nut-ball crazy.
- And lastly, speaking of "nut-ball"... do these idiots know what tea bagging is slang for? Google it, darn that is gross!
So good luck to these crack ups. I am predicting now that there will be a big time third party candidate for President in 2012 to try to represent real conservative values. Obama will win re-election in a massive landslide and all this noise will backfire.
I truly wish there were some real convervative leaders out there that could get some traction and work in cooperation with the Team Obama. He has repeately reached out only to be slapped. Too bad, because most of us are reasonable moderates and we like a little compromise. The GOP no longer seems to be interested in representing the middle at all so down, down they go.
