The Tea Party is over. April 15th has come and gone. They’ve had their big “Showdown in Searchlight” which provided a couple of days of business for a small town and probably didn’t hurt Reid’s reelection chances a bit, which is a bit of a twisted shame, because the only thing I like about Harry is that the teabaggers hate him so much, otherwise he’s always struck me as your average political weasel. They’ve had their big coast to coast caravan, the girlfest up in Minneapolis, the event in Boston that even Scott Brown, the only person in the world who owes the teabaggers anything, wouldn’t speak at their pathetic little tea party, out of embarrassment. They’ve had their big rally in Washington, with some of the most godawful musical entertainment the post Les Paul world has ever experienced. Throughout, there have been hysterical signs and costumes.
But that’s it. This was the climax. There’s nothing more on the schedule. If they planned an event now, they couldn’t find a speaker. All of the teabaggers have already teabagged, and even they have to grow bored and go home at some point.
Of course, some will say that their next big test is in November. They will be forgotten by November. No candidate is willing to be seen with them, except that Haywood guy in Arizona, and I’m of mixed feelings in that race. I’m hoping that Arizona goes Democratic this year and I think there’s a good chance of it, since the winner of the Republican primary will either be a senile, delusional, warmongering opportunist or a teabagger. However, it’s Arizona so it could still go either way.
There won’t be any candidates running in November who have a –T after their names on the ballot. They aren’t a real party.
So, all of these teabaggers are going to have to vote for an –R or a –D, and a goodly percentage of them won’t bother voting at all, because it is an off year, after all.
Sure, some commenters will call any close race where a conservative won a teabagger victory, and they will forget to mention those that went the other way. But it will just be repetetive, like a fading echo. They are finished. And, by this time next year, they will be forgotten.

yes, let’s hope they will be forgotten. They are probably happier now that the stock market is up and they are making money again. Now if we can just get rid of John McCain before he ‘pulls the trigger’…..
