How many tea party representatives do you think there are in the
house?
At least 80 who signed that stupid petition in advance of shutting the
government down, the vast majority of which hail from southern states.
Actually, some 144 Republican members of the U.S. House voted against
the bill ending the government shutdown, and so did 18 Republican
members of the U.S. Senate. Teabaggers all, no matter how they describe
themselves.
