To be fair, that is also true of a great deal of the tea party faithful.
I'm not trying to be clever by saying that, it's actually that they don't seem to have a coherent platform other than a general 'down with bad
stuff' penchant. I think that is actually part of their appeal and inadvertent clever marketing approach ... namely that it's a rag tag
amalgamation of ant-government malcontents venting their displeasure with the status quo rather that providing any concrete solutions. I say
'inadvertent' because the TP seems to have mostly 'fallen in', if you will, onto this approach rather than consciously applying it.
Still, it is rather clever because there is no shortage of people wanting to complain ... conversely there is a great shortage of peeps offering
solutions.
Meh, this 'masturbation' issue is nothing really, I think most folks here just pile on to have a little fun more than anything ... although it must
be said that I am personally impressed with any politician who is 'master of their campaign.'
