Republican "Tea Parties" to protest the Republicans losing control of all branches of government, scheduled around the country. Don't look for anti-war protesters or health care for all protesters among the brownshirts there, you won't find any!
Go to a "tea party"! You might get to meet a rightwing patriot who suddenly cares about bad government...now that there's not a Republican president! You might meet a rightwing patriot: Patriot Michelle Malkin! Patriot Ann Coulter! Patriot Sean Hannity! Patriot Rush Limbaugh! Patriot Glen Beck! These heroic patriots, who didn't give a FLYING FUCK about fascist U.S. government during the 8 long Bush years, are now patriots against bad government! ...now that there's not a Republican president. The "tea parties" will disappear once there is a Republican president again! No matter how bad that Republican president is! Did it occur to you, that these people do not, in fact, care about bad government? They only care that there is not a Republican president?
Remember their tea party for health care for all? OH! THERE WASN'T ONE!
Remember their tea party against torture? OH! THERE WASN'T ONE!
Remember their tea party for a thorough independent 9/11 investigation? OH! THERE WASN'T ONE!

Remember their tea party when Bush lied us into the Iraq War? OH! THERE WASN'T ONE!
Remember their tea party against electronic voting machines and voter suppression? OH! THERE WASN'T ONE!
(...and here's the REAL KICKER...)
Remember their tea party when Bush started the trillion dollar bailouts with Paulson? OH! THERE WASN'T ONE!
Remember their tea party because the Republicans lost control of every branch of government? OH! YEAH! THAT'S THIS ONE!
