“The national media is way too interested in trying to put people into little cubbyholes,”
"They’re trying to have their nice little jockeying, gamesmanship-type columns,

Sorry, but those statements alone make you seem exactly like what the media is calling you, a Tea-Partier. You are the one trying to claim you have broader appeal by trying to distance yourself from the TPs.

Does the Democratic Party candidate stand a chance in this district? I really hope so. Calling Dave a Tea Party guy cannot help but up the chances of a Democratic win in the district.

Dave the Teabag? Dave the dipsh*t? Dave the “I have no well-formed opinion on minimum wage” religious economist guy?

Drop the Ayn Rand horseshit and we’ll talk. That woman was the prototype teabagger - Anti-gummint hypocrite who felt entitled to her gummint cheese while railing against it.
