Very little of what he says would be implemented but he would change the debate from left/right to authoritarians vs. peace and freedom.
teabaggers want to reduce the deficit, but don't want to decrease the budget for the military, social security, or Medicare.

Go figure.

That's cause teabaggers are the neo-cons that think electing Palin or Romney will somehow bring sunshine and rainbows to the U.S. when they will, like Obama to a T, continue the "Bush Doctrine" aka the globalist banker doctrine

They also showed an old Video and tried to pass it off as this years CPac convention. They tried to act as if he was being booed, the reality was the opposite.

The Crony puppet masters at Fox are very scared of him.

Cause people are starting to realize the fact that the government doesn't make the sky blue, the birds sing, and that 2+2 does equal 4.

The want what everyone on the left ad right want. They want what they want for them, and they want to get rid of things they do't want. Hence why they don'tlike Paul.

I don't think anyone can do much. One they are POTUS and discover the roadblocks and back door dealings that tie the hands of every government it's pretty much the end of big ideas and campaign promises.

"Teabagger" is a vulgar term used to denigrate insult. Is it okay if we refer to you, OP as "rimmer"?

I don't give a squat about political correctness. No need to get all nutty on us. I don't consider the term to be a slap in the face.

Perhaps the teabaggers shouldn't have chosen that name in the first place. Teabagers are always giving us a mouthful about PC, yet chew you out when you use words they don't like. Look at the teabagger in the pic, he's a Christian, well now it's time for them to turn the other cheek.

The term "teabagger" emerged after a protester displayed a placard using the words "tea bag" as a verb.[273][274] The label has prompted additional puns by commentators, the protesters themselves, and comedians based on the sexual meaning of the term. It is routinely used as a derogatory term to refer to conservative protestors.[275]
Tea Party movement - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The old man in the pictures very likely doesn't know what the term really means. He probably doesn't know what "fisting" is either.
