So, what then..........?

[BlueStreak]

What happens if this whole Tea Party Republican thing just turns out to be the same old, same old? You gotta know the lobbyist sharks are swimming around sniffing the new blood. So, what are all of these folks going to do if the whole thing turns out to be a charade? Is that when things get really ugly?

What do you say, Fellas?

From dictionary.com,

ca·nard
Show Spelled[kuh-nahrd; Fr. ka-nar] Show IPA
–noun, plural -nards Show Spelled[-nahrdz; Fr. -nar]
1.
a false or baseless, usually derogatory story, report, or rumor.

"Charade" might have been a better choice of words;

cha·rade (sh-rd)
n.

2. A readily perceived pretense; a travesty: went through the charade of a public apology.

Yeah, "charade" is better. Fixed it.

It's an aeroplane with the wing at the back and the horizontal stabiliser in front. It is also a duck, possibly a lame duck.

If it walks like a canard, swims like a canard and quacks like a canard, I'd call it a canard. Otherwise, it's a charade.

Apart from providing comic relief I don't see the teabaggers amounting to much, though they seem to have McConnell running scared, he just switched 180 degrees on earmarks.

McConnells a pussy.

But, seriously. If these people just start acting like the politicians they are. How do you think the right wing base will react? 2nd amendment option? Or will they just shuffle off in embarrassment?

Same as it ever was.

I sincerely doubt that those wusses will do any amendment option.
