Headline we wished we'd written
From Gloucester, MA. (How do you pronounce that? glou-chester? glow-kester? glaw-ster? Jeezuz).
The Gloucester Times headline reads, "Tea Party's Beaver is Back!"
Good to know. The Story.

OK, which rich white guy should be the Republican candidate?
Now that the token female and token black candidate have self-destructed we're finally back to the usual set of Republican candidates: white guys worth millions who've never actually sweated to earn a buck (or thousands of bucks).
No wonder they don't look out for the average working Joe (or Juan) because they have nothing in common with them.
Romney - Smells of money. It takes lots of money to look that clean-cut and he has tons of it.
Gingrich - Sucks in money from every lobbyist he can get his slimy hands on. The morals of the scumbag he is.
Santorum - Religious fruitcake
Perry - Nice guy to hang with, but not someone you'd want in charge of anything--especially a country with nuclear weapons.
Huntsman - Even being filthy rich can get him votes.
Paul - Too radical for the left or right. He actually does want less gov't and more personal freedom--something the right wingers are afraid of. I mean, you can't give that kind of freedom of choice to gays, immigrants, Muslims, pregnant women, etc.
Okay, not that the Democratic candidate is any better.
Maybe we should line 'em all up with shots of tequila in front of them. Last (rich) man standing gets to be president. I mean it's not any worse than the current method of secret slush funds (super PACs) electing the president.
Or maybe look for someone else to run in November. I mean is this the best the Republicans can do?

Rick Santorum. Whoa!
Santorum is one of those Candidates of the Month for the Republican primaries. Where do they find these people?
Here's a few wild quotes from ol' Ricky:
On contraception
"Many of the Christian faith have said, well, that's okay, contraception is okay. It's not okay. It's a license to do things in a sexual realm that is counter to how things are supposed to be."
According to how things are supposed to be according to whom? So no condoms, birth control pills, etc. Ricky = out of touch.
Palestine / Israel issues
"All the people who live in the West Bank are Israelis, they're not Palestinians. There is no 'Palestinian.' This is Israeli land."
Well, that's pretty clear. Of course, it depends on exactly what moment in history you want to look to see if there is a Palestine or an Israel.
On Romney
"Would the potential attraction to Mormonism by simply having a Mormon in the White House threaten traditional Christianity by leading more Americans to a church that some Christians believe misleadingly calls itself Christian, is an active missionary church, and a dangerous cult?
You could make that argument about most religions. But keep hittin' us with the fear factor--it's your best bet when you don't have logic on your side.
Lazy Black People
"I don't want to make black people's lives better by giving them somebody else's money; I want to give them the opportunity to go out and earn the money."
Sounds fine on the surface except that he believes it's only the Blacks living off others money.
More racism, this time with abortion
"The question is — and this is what Barack Obama didn't want to answer — is that human life a person under the Constitution? And Barack Obama says no. Well if that person — human life is not a person, then — I find it almost remarkable for a black man to say, 'We're going to decide who are people and who are not people.'"
Only white guys can decide?
Explaining Democrats
"The political base of the Democratic Party is single mothers running households that “look to the government for help."
I knew it! It's probably just the black single moms.
The Tequila Party urges you to get out and vote because, damn, it sure is good for a laugh! And, as always, drink responsibly. You're going to need it over the next few months.

The National Defense Authorization Act
Something with "National Defense" in the title is as hard to argue with as the "Patriot Act" except for both being unconstitutional.
Perhaps Obama should be the new Tea Party candidate. He's sure looking like one.
One part of this new bill signed by Obama allows for the military to detain indefinitely American citizens without trial if they think they might be aligned with terrorists. Of course, this is essentially legalizing what's been going on for the last ten years. It allows the government to do whatever the hell it wants with your liberty--most Americans greatest fear.
Then to check on how stupid he thinks we are Obama said, well, it's nothing he'd ever do, but you never know about other administrations (so don't elect any Republicans).
If the law itself isn't offensive enough his rationalization for signing it is.
Oh yeah, another part of the law not getting much publicity yet is allowing the military to carry out operations on U.S. soil presumably against U.S. citizens it labels as terrorists. Could be right-wing paramilitary groups in Idaho, could be Wall Street protester in NY.
What have we done? The Tequila Party needs a drink!
