In October 2007 the republican party good boy Ron Paul has created the tea party, so called by his bad boys republican counterparts as in derogatory reference implying sexual intercourse (oral to be precise), a name derrived after the Boston tea rebelion on December 16, 1773 aimed against the payments of taxes to the British crown, as an opposition to the more "conservative", moronic rather, George Bush camp, however, only a few years later the movement is nowadays pinned barreled and sold as the democrats vs republicans wedge issue. Ain't that grand.
