Teabag Triangulation
Well, a recent poll showed something interesting, although I will add my own interpretation of events at the end. The poll showed that Republicans will gain seats against Democrats in November, unless there are Teabaggers in the race, in which case the conservative vote is split because, let’s face it, a Teabagger is just a Republican who is somewhat less hesitant about speaking their mind. Speaking their empty, little, pathetically warped mind.
It’s perfectly logical, really. Who did the pollsters think these people would vote for if there were no Teabagger in the race? A Democrat? That is, the people they call Demoncraps, Dimmocrats, Dumocrats, Demrats and many other bad things. The people who they have more than once accused of being Satan incarnate. I don’t think so.
So, it’s an interesting possibility, and a tempting thing to wish for (think NY 23), but, as the Pussy Cat Dolls have famously said: Be careful what you wish for or you just might get it. Which means, I’m torn.
On the one hand, I think we should encourage the teabaggers to run candidates in every district. I even wrote a little poem to that effect:
Run, Teabaggers, Run!
Your blood is pure, your vision clear
bring back the fife and the drum
Run, Teabaggers, Run!
Break out the tri-corner hats
and your trusty hunting rifle
Run, Teabaggers, Run!
wave your copy of the constitution
in the air like a banner
Restore Pre-existing Conditions!
Bring back the America of fierce individuals
who loved freedom and embraced war
Run, Teabaggers, Run!
Americans support you! You are 25%!
How can you lose?
On the other hand, 25% is a quarter, and that’s a damned scary amount. I would hate to encourage these ignorant lunatics to get involved, and then see some of them win. And whenever there is a 3 way race, that is always a possibility.
