V1.0 was all about hitting the streets in front of the Fox News cameras and it worked well in the 2010 election. Besides, we love these kind of protesters:
The TP has quieted down. They claim they're working in the background to take over the Senate and work on legislation. What? Can't we leave the legislation to the professional lobbyists? Or is Tea Party 2.0 about sleazy behind-the-scenes lobbying just like every other influence-peddling group in D.C? Sounds too much like maturity and reality set in. That's boring.
We should counteract this with Tequila Party 2.0. It will now require two shots of tequila before entering the hallowed halls of Congress trying to buy votes. And we'll be dropping off two bottles of tequila at the front desk of all the swing voters on Capitol Hill. (Did it ever occur to anyone that the "swing voters" are the smart ones because these are the ones that can be bought).
