Rio Rancho Tea Partyers Strut Their Hateful Stuff
Rio Rancho Tea Party 9.1.09
Tea party supporters -- or whatever they're calling themselves these days -- gathered in Rio Rancho yesterday to greet the Tea Party Express. Evidently, the goals included showing off for Fox News reporters, spreading lies about health care reform, insulting the President with racist overtones and holding the fort against "Marxism" and "socialism." Many looked like they were on Medicare, so I don't know what their beef is, exactly, about government run health care programs .
The Democratic Party of New Mexico blog has the story, as well as a slew of photos from the event. Go see for yourself.
You can find out more about the Tea Party Express at their website, which includes a store selling a really classy t-shirt. I'm sure Dick Armey approves:

I am feeling nostalgic for the good ol'days when the village only had one idiot.

The enemy without unites within.
The President seems much more likable after reading this post than after reading the one immediately preceding it.
The enemy of the enemy is my friend...but he's being a bit of a lousy friend these days.

Rio Rancho was a mistake from the start. Mindless trash on the mesa.
