Electric Teabag Acid Test

Dick Armey lets the cat out of the bag:

“I think the [Tea Party] movement, very broadly,” Armey began, “has forsaken the possibility of having a reliable, innovative, small government conservative emerge through the Republican Party’s process. So we put our focus on — ”

“What do you mean?” Banfield interrupted, “I thought that was Ron Paul, Congressman?”

“Well, Ron Paul, we– we sa– we don’t believe he will emerge, uh, as the candidate through this process,”

“So why aren’t you backing him?” Banfield asked. “And all your very strong Tea Partiers? I mean the numbers are in the hundreds of thousands, if not millions.”

“One of the things you have to understand about small government activists,” Armey explained, “is that we all, each and very one of us, individually, march to our own drummer, so there are many people in our movement that are backing Ron Paul, but there are some that are backing some of the others, as well,”

“But that means you don’t have sort of a block of power, if what I’m hearing is, uh…”

“We’re not about power,” Armey said. “That’s one of the things that’s confusing to a lot of people who are used to analyzing the behavior of real politicians that are in biz for themselves. We are about what’s good for the nation, individual liberty, personal freedom, and everybody being free to do their own thing.

If it feels good, do it baby Tune in, turn on, vote GOP.
