Really Annoying Tea

I got this in my inbox today from the Tea Party Patriots.  As you may or may not have heard on CNN or FoxNews, some Washington Tea Party people wanted incoming Congressmen to attend a Tea Party orientation for freshman members-elect of Congress.  To get their way, they had Tea Party people blast their personal cell phones with a gazillion calls.  Well, it turns out they f*ed up.

Here's the e-mail:

Thank you for making calls to your Congressmen-elect urging them to attend our freshman orientation this weekend.  It's time to turn off the heat. 

We also need to apologize to some people.  In our haste to compile the list and get it out to you, some people who didn't win their races were incorrectly included as having won.  People who dedicate a year or more of their lives to running for office, and who don't succeed, are as deserving of our respect and support as those who ultimately prevailed.  In many cases, they have sacrificed their time, money, and families to the cause of restoring the nation to its Constitutional foundation. 

Specifically, we need to offer our sincere apologies to a John Koster, Jesse Kelly, and Keith Fimian who ran for office and did not get elected but who were inadvertently added to our list.  Additionally, we had a long call with David Harmer from California tonight.  He is in a recount, and is dealing with the results of what appears to be large scale voter fraud, and may not win his office.  The last thing he and his family need is pressure from us, and we apologize for any stress we may have added to their lives.

Seriously?  It's bad enough you're harassing CONSERVATIVES at all hours of the day with threatening phone calls on their personal phones, likely when they're spending valuable time with their families before going off to Washington.  But you're also releasing the cell phone numbers of people who aren't even going to Congress and exposing them to this treatment as well?

Come on.  The real enemies here aren't the Republicans who just got elected for the first time, but the Democrats who didn't get kicked out of office.

  1. More proof that tea parties are more of a reaction, a reformation if you will, not a long term strategy or plan.

  2. I don't think they realize that their actions can backfire and cause Congress members to NOT go along with Tea Party demands in the future because of how annoying they are. These groups don't represent their constituents. They represent an extreme faction... and often time, they're not even constituents, as I write about in my next post about NWI's favorite ignorant child demonstrates.
