Oh no, not loony, they know exactly what they are doing.
Now most of their followers, are just everyday people that have been frustrated with the politicians for a very long time. Seeing it get more blatant and feeling helpless to do anything about it... vote for the lesser of two evils, big whoop.

So this tea party thing comes along, and provides a glimmer of hope, a chance that they can actually do something to make things better. Mr & Mrs Average join up, get on the mailing/email list, and maybe even contribute a couple bucks, in hopes this will work.

In theory it would work too, if they worked within the system to make sure better candidates got elected locally, then worked their way up, all the while holding the politicians feet to the fire, to keep them (reasonably) honest. Knowing if they fuck up they're out, and they don't need the corporate money to get reelected.

But the tea parties have been conned by people like Karl Rove, who really is working for GOP/big money, telling them it's all Obama/Democrats fault. Pumping them and full of half truths, distortions, and blatant lies, by saturating the airways & internet. Telling them all the countries ills can be solved overnight, by following their lead.

It would be almost funny to watch the tea party being led down the path to complete corporate control, fucking themselves, if they weren't fucking the rest of us and the country, along with them. O'Donnell, Angle, Paladino, Paul, Webster, good grief, be careful what you wish for, they'd set this country back a hundred years.

Now maybe some of them would like to turn the clock back a hundred years, or maybe just 50, to when god fearing people were in charge, niggers & fags knew their place, and women did what they were told. But you know what, you can't go back, the cat ain't going back in the bag.
