Teabagging Party

There's lots of talk today about the tea bag parties Republicans have organized all over the country. From CNN, this event is...

"harkening back to the pre-Revolutionary War protests in Boston, Massachusetts. In those 1773 protests, colonists dumped tea into the harbor in a show of defiance against British rule and the British Parliament's attempt to levy taxes on the American colonies without allowing them representation in the body."

So problems I have with all this...
  1. There are just some words you should avoid on the internet, like: Tea Bagging, Tossed Salad, and Blumkin (please don't Google those mom)
  2. Obama is cutting the commoners taxes, fact he had a bigger cut then McCain's plan.
  3. Buying all those tea bags actually helps the British Economy. What the hell are you thinking? Lipton is a UK company.
  4. If you dislike where you money is going, just remember we gave $1 trillion to the Iraqi people over the last 7 years. At least this money (mostly in part) goes into the hands of US companies and local governments.
If republicans have a need to complain, at least build a good case, and do some research.
