Your thin skin is almost too easy to get under. And youre right about tea baggers not playing anymore. Not the name but the movement. The convention is proof of the inexorable slide of your astroturf phenomenon  into a craven squeezing of the faithful for cash. We saw it all along. And now the faithful are beginning to see it, too . . . played for suckers. But now that youve enlisted in The Dick Army you find yourself stuck, committed to supporting the very forces bent on fleecing your ass. And so it goes with the moral imperative of the conservative movement . . . talk about god, talk about guns, talk about gays (but do it all for cash).
