Does anybody else roll their eyes when they see tea party capitalized, as if its a real, trademarked organization with leaders, etc.? I swear the rats are hard at work through their newsrooms (with a lot of help from the clownish political wannabes and libertarian malcontents who are always the loudest tea partiers) to turn the effective tea party protests of 2009 into The Tea Party, until it becomes the same kind of marginal laughingstock that the Move On campaign evolved into ten years ago.
Tea Party should be capitalized, Jack. It means something and it ain’t a place where you eat crumpets.
