Tea Bag Tuesday

Republican House Speaker John Boehner is a 'socialist' :
Hauling out and dusting off Captain Jack Sparrow - 'WHAT'!!??!!
'David Lewis, a 26 year old Tea Party activist believes the man he is mounting a primary challenge against, Speaker of the House Rep. John Boehner (R-OH), is a "socialist."
'"Well, John Boehner is a socialist. I'm not calling him names," said Lewis, in response to Cavuto's rebuttal that the bill Boehner voted for was already doomed. "Here is someone that refuses to phase out Social Security."

And a little background on Mr. David Lewis :

'Lewis already has three graphic ads up on his campaign website ... so it is pretty obvious that his candidacy is not really a "Tea Party" challenge to Boehner at all but is simply the latest step in Randall Terry's campaign to get graphic anti-choice ads aired on television'.
The tea party being taken over by social conservatives? Yep.

Would those 'social conservatives' bring back say - 'birtherism?'
Yep.
'Infamous Arizona Sheriff Joe Arpaio announced a five-person "Cold Case Posse" that will delve into the issue of President Obama's birth certificate'.
'The posse follows a request by the Surprise, Arizona Tea Party, who Arpaio met with on August 17. The Surprise Tea Party believes that the long-form birth certificate released by President Obama in April -- which put the issue to rest for pretty much everyone -- could be a forgery'.

And then of course the 'Texan' himself, Governor Rick 'Tea Bag' Perry and his bigger then life 'Texas Miracle'...........part two.....
'While it's true that Texas is responsible for 40% of the jobs added in the U.S. over the past two years, (Well maybe not so much. See : http://thinkprogress.org/economy/2011/08/17/297556/report-texas-ranks-dead-last-in-total-job-creation-accounting-for-labor-force-growth/), its poverty rate also grew faster than the national average in 2010'.
'Texas ranks 6th in terms of people living in poverty. Some 18.4% of Texans were impoverished in 2010, up from 17.3% a year earlier, according to Census Bureau data released this week. The national average is 15.1%'.
'And being poor in Texas isn't easy. The state has one of the lowest rates of spending on its citizens per capita and the highest share of those lacking health insurance. It doesn't provide a lot of support services to those in need: Relatively few collect food stamps and qualifying for cash assistance is particularly tough'.
