Both kinds exist in cyberspace. I will assume genuine.<br /><br />Teabaggers, and the Teabagger movement are a class of politically motivated people whose ideas emerged from Libertarians and their ideas. Republicans usurped the TEA Party (Taxed Enough Already Party) movement once they perceived the populist draw. People were disgusted with Bush and then Obama Administration spending to ease the effect of a credit crisis that would have sent our country into a massive depression. Unpopular measures were passed and our economy faltered but did not fail. <br /><br />A victory.<br /><br />But the stink remained, and Wall Street added to it by maintaining its careless investments while rewarding execs for doing the things that brought on the crisis. <br /><br />These leeches on our society maintain their hold by their lobbies. We have a big job ahead of us but I fear that the Teabaggers are being swayed by the very people who created the crisis. <br /><br />A devil's dilemma. <br /><br />Hope this helps. On the other hand, if this is another disingenuous request from a right wing apologist for Wall Street . . . What Jon Stewart said - specifically to Fox News.
