		<description>&lt;em&gt;Land of A 1000 Dances says: Let’s see, the Republicans have an elephant, the Democrats have a donkey and the Tea Party? A balloon knot.

Here is the running list so far:

    1. Balloon knot
    2. Hairy scrotum
    3. D**che bag (used)
    4. Enema ball 

Feel free to add on. -- Dr. Hussein Matt&lt;/em&gt;

*********************************************************

How about a turkey?  We could probably manage to convince them that it&#039;s a patriotic symbol and calls to mind one of the Founding Fathers since Benjamin Franklin once expressed the sentiment that he&#039;d rather have the turkey than the bald eagle as our national bird.  However, since most Tea Baggers don&#039;t appear to be all that swift and seem to have problems comprehending either irony or subtlety, they&#039;d probably miss the analogy...a flock of vain, silly, aggressive, puffed-up posturing birds that run around and make a lot of superfluous noise for no discernible reason.  Works for me...</description>

		<description>Lake County, Fl. is full of tea bagger fruit cakes. It&#039;s almost solidly republican/tea bagger. There are some real crazies down here. If the rest of America voted for a Dem, Lake county would still vote repub even if there was no repub candidate running! I&#039;ve never seen anything like it. Oh, and they are all christian too. Does that suprise you!HAAAAAAAAAAA</description>

		<description>Some states have a closed primary system which forces people to take a Dem or Rep ballot. If the teabaggers run, then the ballot will have only the offices that their party is running a candidate. We have that in Illinois and while it would be nice to cross over, we lose the ability to vote for other offices. I would be happy to cross over if the teabaggers run on the Republican ballot.</description>
