Despite the media's continued fascination with the Republican party's re-branding of its fringe base as the "tea party," the "movement" itself is little more than a few angry, old white people who are unsettled at the idea of a black president. Today, the "movement" held yet another rally in DC to express their hatred of all things Obama. The massive protest numbered in the dozens.

I wish the media would stop polishing up the turd by giving it so much press. That only makes it looks nice and shiny and mainstream to too many voters.
