I just posed in this thread so I could say... teahadist from Teabagistan.

Personally, I think teabagging (http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=teabagging) should only be done in the privacy of your own home with other consenting teabaggers.


For the humor impaired, that was a JOKE!
If I may quibble, however, the is no "official" tea party of which you could be a member. The "tea party" is mostly a group of overwhelmingly white middle-class disaffected citizens nursing a pottage of unfocused and often contradictory grievances against our current president and his administration and its policies.

As a term, "tea party" has no more meaning than "communist" and "fascist" (as the two latter words are used by uninformed teabaggers, that is).

I am not happy with the 2 party system, I think term limits are needed at every level of government, safeguards are needed to protect the rest of us from the wrath of the very wealthy, I was a Perot supporter until he proved himself to be mentally unstable, I voted for and am generally happy with Obama, and I choose the undefined option.

I'm sure there are a few here, but I suspect none will admit to it, due to the (well deserved) ridicule.

Why? Don't they have the courage of their convictions?

To get the proper confessional mood going here, I will confess I have both teabagged (http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=teabagged) and attended tea parties. (http://www.savannahtearoom.com/) ;)

I've been to a British high tea party.

Now let's see if anyone knows what that is.

Being a British tradition, I'm guessing it has nothing to do with sex (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/No_Sex_Please,_We're_British). ;)

Well of course, who hasn't? ;)
