Of course they did. Luckily, no one was injured.
— Which is the best deal they could get. So, like, victory!
Comity. Compromise. Pragmatism.

Good thing too. They might not get a bomb scare for the New Year’s Eve party.
– The entire Progressive pimple brigade is nothing if not brave.
– I can’t wait for it to get started. Bring it!
– OUTLAW VIOLENCE!™….it’s what’s for dinner!
ok honestly Tea Party Christmas Parties are probably not a super healthy development really
unless maybe if they have shrimp
‘feets, you’re worse than Pavlov’s dogs. More like a vampire; flash a cross and you start hissing….
OK. It was a Tea Party Holiday Party and Moose Hunt.
Everyone gets what they want.
“ok honestly Tea Party Christmas Parties are probably not a super healthy development really”
The leader of the Tea Party should put a stop to them immediately then. Go see if you can find him.

Damn Christers. You must travel in pretty faggoty retarded circles in LA, because everyone I know goes to Christmas parties and even gives/receives Christmas presents regardless of their faithiness. Even teh Jooos, though they call it a Hanukkah bush and despoil the holy day with Chinese food.
I have a feeling they weren’t lashing their backs for corporal mortification and re-enacting the stations of the cross.
Think they were probably having some drinks with friends. Which, good for them. I’m doing the same on Saturday when our company has it’s annual non-believer, Jewish, and Christian Festival of Drinking Shots and Indulging in Sketchy Behavior with Coworkers. Don’t tell the ACLU.
has its annual
I love Christmas I just hadn’t realized that the Tea Party had become a Christmas Party kind of thing. Next thing you know they’re gonna have mailing lists.
My guess is it was some disgruntled Christians. You know Christians- violent, intolerant and with a lengthy history of oppressing all people of color. They are just one Jesus cartoon away from strapping on a belt of semtex and going to town on the population.
I also bet if you checked this guy’s DVR, he’s currently recording Sarah Palin’s Alaska. What more do you need to know about his sanity?
Seems like a positive development. If we’re concerned about their staying power, then using the normal methods that give people a chance to have some fun socializing should work towards that goal.
maybe Mr. bh.
mostly I just think the more institutionalized the tea party gets the less helpful of a development it will be. It’s that lack of institutionalization what has so far prevented it from being wholly co-opted.
i had a tea party
bust
only seven body-bags showed up
greasy,slumpy
dopey,clammy-the ‘don’t touch me” guy
feeble,banjo deliverance boy..
gee- if i hit the lottery, and fly[certain] people to
a warm weather thing/port
promise me u’ll be more uptempo than
them grumpy gusses..
i think
banjo deliverance boy
stoled some of the silver ware..
but i can’t prove it..
all i know is..
i’m down soup spoons..
I suspect “don’t touch me guy” myself, ‘buttons.
I think that’s a very valid concern, ‘feets, but I don’t draw the same connection between going out for drinks with becoming overly institutionalized.
the ‘don’t touch me guy’

with a bar of soap!

Something like this will happen, I suspect, on a bigger scale and with a larger import. Congresspeople will begin vying with one another to be seen as better spending cutters — though it may take a cycle or two to take hold altogether, I think it can happen in much the same fashion as Congresspeople grew to vie with one another to be seen as better spenders. That is, we voters drive them to it.
Relentlessly, motherfuckers.

What the the Sam Hill are you talking about? The only way the TEA Party works and has staying power is with decentralized, but organized GROUPS of people.
I think the hamster has been hitting cynn’s box wine again.
Box wine is a sometimes food, haps.
When somebody claiming to represent the Tea-Party announces the groundbreaking on the New multi-million dollar Official Tea Party Headquarters, to be built at a later date after the funds have been raised, and that somebody isn’t alternately laughed at and scourged by other tea party groups, then, and only then, can you start worrying.
In the meantime, keep working for a hostile takeover of the RNC by taking over the state committees one precinct at a time.
Allen West is awesome, sdferr. And, I hear what you’re saying about the positive feedback loop we should be working to develop.
I’m hoping the Senate has a firebrand or two in the new bunch as well.
via Insty, another reason to party: Tea
it was the ‘don’t touch me guy’
cuz, when i have a dinner party..
i insist. put ur digits on the table..
who’s gonna say grace?
i- was suppossed to have head bowed
but i kept one eye opened..
checking out the ‘don’t touch me’ guy
and do you know..
we was all hand holding..
praying for bounty..
but the ‘don’t touch me’ guy
never ever lifted his hands
or put him on the table..
just kept them in his lap..
saving his fast fingers
to lift my soup spoons!
Adam West is not only awesome, he’s Batman.
In one of my rare attempts to use a celebrity in commercials, I tried to sell a client on Adam West for a campaign. Them: “He’s a terrible actor.” Me: “Exactly! That’s why he’d be funny. And cheap.” Them: silence and strange looks.
The burdens of being ironic before irony was mainstream.
I’m still more curious to see how the tea party navigates a presidential primary season than I am about gauging the staying power really.
I’m very pessimistic about the tea party’s future really after watching how easily it
brb
Send out the Bat signal.
Mr. Squid I do not drink the box wine really but I do have a favorite cheap cheap cheap liquor what I heart immensely.
Here.
My sister gets it for me at duty-free sometimes but it’s been hard to find lately.
It’s Dominican!! Not unlike Michelle Rodriguez.
This one is Brugal’s mid-tier rum.
I like to drink it straight it is very tasty. If you drink too much though you can get drunk so you have to be careful.
and
Amy Kremer signed that letter to Boehner McConnell what called on them to respect the midterm victory as having been grounded in…
Among other things.
It was her and a bunch of old school religious right douchebags.
I don’t trust her anymores but for sure I would drink a tasty glass of Brugal Anejo with her at the Christmas party.
Then we can guess she’ll continue to be CNN’s go-to girl for Tea Partier quotes, eh hf? She slipped up for this piece though, talking about spendings insteada religiosity.
nonono – she’s usually very very on-message with the spendings… that’s why I noticed her name on that letter – it wasn’t the Amy Kremer I thought I knew
maybe it was just a mistake
They’s website seems to have fallen into the torpor of desuetude.
“torpor of desuetude”
– I’ve told you a thousand times to stop doing that sdferr.
I don’t get the jokes from the smart peeples.
I hope that bomb threat was not from that one guy, you know, just a guy from Barack’s neighborhood.

heres a post, to gaurenteefrom u wont
maybe?
often.. i stick things..
from new jersey,
in the mailbox

i gots way crazy stuff
babbles..
I may have to rethink yodeling. Sheesh the times we live in.
We see an alliance has formed between Tea Party Express and CNN (or is it an alliance of Amy Kremer under the guise of Tea Party Express and CNN?) . No surprise, we guess.
That sounds an outlandish claim on its face, no?
It is outlandish, if by outlandish, you mean a brazen fucking lie.
More about that.
