    Ok, PB i know you and I are on polar opposite side of the political spectrum here. but i will ask you kindly to refrain from using "Tea Baggers" the term is Highly offensive to us (and I will argue that those using it know so)and i don't think that despite a differing of opinion, that we need to revert to name calling.

    that term was coined by Nancy Pelosi and she thought she was being cute.
    it is a disgusting sexual act that should not ever be used in reference to ANY group of people. ( in my opinion its similar to the "N"word) let alone by a memeber of congress.

    Make any accusations you'd like when slinging mud. but leave the name calling out of it. its childish. i ask you as an adult, albeit one of differing opinion. but this needs to stay civil.

    Actually, you may be mistaken.
    The term evolved when disgruntled people mailed TEA BAGS to elected officials.
    They mailers were happy to be called Tea Baggers then, and its hard to shake off a catchy name like that.
    Maybe somebody should have done a little research first.
