Could it be that instead of taking a dig at the Tea Party, this commercial is basically saying that the experiment started by the original tea party is over...thanks to Barry and company?

By the way, Khruschev was right...”We will BARRY you!”

"Geez people there are real things to be pissed at and to take action on. Some very dumb commercial is way down the list."

Have you stopped to think about how much influence TV commercials have as propaganda tools. And the mindless sheeple listening to propaganda and the lies spewed by the media, is one of the reasons we are in this downhill situation. Do you agree?

I’m sick of the GEICO gecko.
However, I LOVE Maxwell.
I never get tired of the ads with Maxwell.
Not that I’d ever do business with GEICO, too many bad reports from customers-or PRIOR customers!

Why can't it be both? Original 1773 Boston Tea Party AND the current American TEA Party? Why not about both?

That way the company has an excuse to fall back on ("it's the 1773 Tea Party, get over it") when anyone complains or challenges them about its 2013 application - when in fact, they do want the 2013 version to be over.

Why not both? JMHO, but I'm just asking....

Forget Progressive - it’s owned by a PROGRESSIVE Peter Lewis who is a buddy of George Soros.

Isn't that special...

These limo-liberals love the "risk" business, ( Buffett as well ) and your continuous cash flow to them, and offer us pull down menus with unlimited options for you car or home, but....

Real free market choice for your own healthcare? Noooooooooo.......

I dislike Geico, but for other reasons. The commercial never remotely brought up the current Tea Party in my mind. I saw it simply as a spoof of the original tea party, suggesting that things greater than a little tea in the harbor are to come.

Yes although if Warren is a bottom feeder in your strata, who are the rich folks?

The Tea Party is over when the Tea Party says it is over.

The rich guys are not canvassing family owned farms, were the heirs cannot get a loan to pay off the taxes. Buffett comes swooping in buy the farms outright.

He also owes a Billion dollars to the IRS.

I saw this on youtube about a week ago, and to my pleasant surprise, nearly every comment seemed like it came from FR folks. I went back a couple of days ago, and the comments have been turned off. Guess they couldn’t take the heat.

The author is an IDIOT. The GEICO commercial has nothing whatsoever to do with the modern Tea Party. The gecko puts his hand behind his back and the closing theme is "Yankee Doodle".
