I saw the flier in the local paper delivered yesterday, “Election Integrity Forum” hosted by the SouthWestMetro GOP “TeaParty” – so I went. And anybody that doesn’t think the TeaBagger “movement” (at least here locally, and there’s strong indications from last night the whole dam state) hasn’t been co-opted into a pet project of the GOP is an idiot or a liar. Or both.

I checked out their website, and there’s an icon:

So I clicked. And – surprise! – all the “recommended candidates” are GOPers.

So I went up to watch; at the start time, there were a little over 30 in the room; late arrivers probably doubled the attendance.

Anyway, my tweets from the TeaBagFest follow; enjoy! And then go do som GOTV stuff; the election’s next Tuesday!!!

OK, go to the bottom and scroll up. I’d put it in earliest to latest, but I got GOTV stuff to do, and so do you. So when you’re done with this, go book some GOTV activities and Get Out The VOTE!!!
