In her defence, idiots are not confined to the Tea Party. Failure to consider the implications of your belief system tends to be pretty widespread, especially if that 'system' is a pile of stuff you threw together because it sounded good.
I certainly don't think idiocy is limited to the Tea Part. I was a member of the Tea Party, until they decided to embrace the patronage of that other idiot, Sarah Palin.
Agreed, she gets points for actually pausing to consider the real world ramifications of her juvenile pseudo-political excuse to rage-gasm indefinitely while dancing to Glen Beck's Pied-Piper tune.
Have I had it with the Tea Partiers and their a-historical, didn't care about the deficit until a black man was named President of the United States, asses? Why yes, yes I fucking have. And it makes me even more crazy that every news organization with the exception of MSNBC and, dear god in heaven, Comedy Central makes it sound like these groups just appeared out of nowhere, springing fully formed from Zeus' forehead like Athena herself. As if they weren't wholly bought and paid for subsidiaries of the Republican party.
I sometimes feel sorry for the dupes, the true believers, even the rampant racists gathering for the ongoing "Teahad" beneath the 'Bagger banner. Sometimes. Most of the time, however, I think they're going to deserve everything their corporate masters have in store for them.
