Ted, > Wingers have representation in Washington.

That is true for both right-wingers and left-wingers.

It wasn't too long ago that left-wingers were the ones taking to the streets, protesting a war that they don't even have to fight in, calling Bush Hitler and the Republican Party Nazis.


Valid observation but it doesn't have to do with the point I am making. The historic Boston Tea party was about not being allowed to participate in the process that established taxes. That makes the current tea parties a fallacy. Instead, the current tea parties are simply an expression of winger unhappiness with gov't spending and with the possibility their taxes may go up.

It was the left-wingers who pretended THEY were the ones "without representation." Now that they're the ones in charge, you, CJ, and SilentZ can go laugh at the protesters on the right.

We didn't pretend. Those of us who opposed the war had no representation in Congress. In fact, most if not all of Congress supported Bush's invasion of Iraq.
