The tea party comes to NZ!

[theVOID]

I thought this was a joke at first, it's still a joke but unfortunately the people behind it don't realise how many people are laughing at them!



I wonder how stupid these fuckwits must be to create a party in New Zealand named after an important cultural/historic event from the other side of the world...

Now watch as us educated secular folks relegate them to the <0.05% of party vote margin where the other Christian parties are located.

Congratulations! Now even you have something to be ashamed of.

And to think soon there will be nifty, "stupid Tea Party quotes" we can search for from down under. Though one has to wonder what's their point being there? They can hardly comprehend American politics so that people listening keep a straight face. What ever are they going to do in your neck of the woods.

Hey wait! Maybe they think, after that long flight, they've arrived in Hawaii.


''The reason that you don't tell [people] that masturbation is the answer to AIDS and all these other problems that come with sex outside of marriage is because again it is not addressing the issue. You're just gonna create somebody who is, I was gonna say, toying with his sexuality. Pardon the pun.''
Delaware GOP Senate nominee and Tea Party favorite Christine O'Donnell, advocating against masturbation in a 1996 appearance on MTV's 'Sex In The 90s' TV show

''I hope that's not where we're going, but you know if this Congress keeps going the way it is, people are really looking toward those Second Amendment remedies and saying my goodness what can we do to turn this country around? I'll tell you the first thing we need to do is take Harry Reid out.''
—Nevada GOP Senate nominee and Tea Party favorite Sharron Angle, floating the possibility of armed insurrection, interview with right-wing talk radio host Lars Larson in Portland, OR, January 2010

We've already got one, he goes by the name of Don Brash and he thinks the Maori are out to get us. Oh, and he knows a guy who has something to do with weather and doesn't believe in AGW so he's going to campaign on repealing the ETS - That being said, he's for free markets and legalising weed... I was almost certainly going to vote for the ACT party prior to their new leader proving himself to be an ass, now I'm going to throw my vote in with the Libertarianz who, even though they won't get into parliament, are growing fast and could use some support for the future.

[The Magic Pudding]

The Tea Party teaches us that you don't have to make sense, just put the attention on the clever people, the hated clever people and their desire to take our jobs disguised as environmental concerns, their desire to take our freedom disguised as concerns for a better society.

Murdoch says he's sorry he let the public down, he doesn't think he fulfilled the newspaperman's duty to the public. I did a google to get his exact words, I didn't find them, I did notice a thrown cream pie was the big issue to come out of the hearing. I think a news organisation has a duty to give a balanced account of issues, otherwise democracy suffers, everything suffers. The hacking of celebrities phones, even thrown cream pies seem a small matter compared to this.

I hope some people in NZ aren't inspired to do their own experiments in how low they can go, I fear they will, rabble rouser is a lucrative niche.

No the Maori aren't out to get "us" but they do have a liking for 'Long Pork' I am assured.

Hey how long have you guys had an ETS??

This I am jealous of.

Surely, Void, you didn't think that every person in NZ was smart? There have to be a few below the bar. Your system gives them a political party of their very own. You should be happy at least you have them all in one place.

Over here we have watched as they took over the republican party which also puts them all in one place but carries risks which NZ will not face..... unless one of the assholes gets elected and the cloud of nuclear fallout works its way that far south.

About 18 months.

Hang on Min, you cut off my sentence and destroyed the context.

I have no problem with people starting a party no matter how dumb they are, it's when they start a New Zealand party based on american patriotism that makes me think they're plain retarded - Nobody at all is going to connect with the american tea symbolism.

America's bullshit works it's way here all the time, especially economically. I don't think your tea party could possibly cock things up for other nations any more than your current president or the one before him - Hell, it would probably be good for us if they decide to take their fucking hands out of everyone else's business.
